Turbovas-5 Tablet (Rosuvastatin) x30

Turbovas-5 Tablet contains 5mg of Rosuvastatin, a potent statin medication designed for managing high cholesterol levels. This highly effective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor significantly reduces LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL cholesterol, offering comprehensive lipid management for cardiovascular risk reduction.

Uses

Turbovas-5 Tablet is primarily used for:

• Treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia
• Prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients
• Slowing the progression of atherosclerosis
• Management of elevated lipid levels in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with or without clinically evident coronary heart disease

Benefits

• Significantly lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol levels
• Reduces triglycerides and increases HDL (good) cholesterol
• Helps prevent cardiovascular events in high-risk patients
• More potent than many other statins at equivalent doses
• Once-daily dosing for convenient use
• Well-tolerated with a favorable side effect profile

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.
