Fortius-10 Tablet contains rosuvastatin (10 mg) and works in your body as follows:

• Increasing LDL receptor density: Rosuvastatin increases LDL receptor density on liver cells, enhancing the uptake and breakdown of LDL, better known as "bad" cholesterol from your bloodstream.

• Reducing hepatic synthesis of VLDL: Rosuvastatin inhibits hepatic synthesis of VLDL, which is a precursor that gets converted to LDL. By doing so, it reduces the total number of particles that can lead to artery-clogging plaques.

This dual action helps effectively lower total cholesterol levels in your body while modestly raising HDL or "good" cholesterol levels contributing to heart health.
