How Bempedoic Acid + Rosuvastatin works

  • Bempedoic Acid + Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering combination.

  • Bempedoic acid is a cholesterol inhibitor. It functions by obstructing the ATP citrate lyase enzyme that aids in producing cholesterol within the liver. As a result, the liver produces less cholesterol.

  • Rosuvastatin is a statin medication. It operates by blocking the HMG CoA-reductase enzyme in the liver. This action inhibits cholesterol production, thus reducing its levels in the body.
