- More potent than many other statins at equivalent doses
- Once-daily dosing for convenient use

How It Works
Rosuvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. This leads to increased LDL receptor activity in the liver, enhancing the removal of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream and reducing overall cholesterol production.
Dosage
The usual starting dose is one 5mg tablet once daily. Take Turbovas-5 at the same time each day, with or without food. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your cholesterol levels and response to treatment.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include muscle pain, weakness, and mild digestive issues. Most side effects are mild and transient. Contact your doctor if you experience severe muscle pain or signs of liver problems (such as dark urine or yellowing of the skin/eyes).
Warning
Use with caution in patients with liver disease or a history of muscle disorders. Inform your doctor of any unexplained muscle pain or weakness. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking this medication.
Interaction
Turbovas-5 may interact with other medications. Inform your doctor about all drugs you’re taking, including:
- Cyclosporine
- Gemfibrozil
- Anticoagulants (like warfarin)
- Certain HIV medications
- Antacids containing aluminum and magnesium hydroxide
Important Information
Regular lipid profile monitoring is essential while taking Turbovas-5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to maximize the medication’s benefits. Do not stop taking Turbovas-5 without consulting your doctor, as discontinuation may lead to a rapid increase in cholesterol levels.
