Rosuvas EZ 10 Tablet is taken orally.

Rosuvas EZ 10 Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

• Ezetimibe (10 mg): This component works at the small intestine's brush border, selectively inhibiting dietary and biliary cholesterol absorption. This action doesn't affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, bile acids, or triglycerides. As a result, less cholesterol reaches the liver from the intestine which reduces cholesterol stores in the liver and enhances cholesterol clearance from the bloodstream.

• Rosuvastatin (10 mg): This ingredient primarily functions in the liver where it inhibits an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase that plays a crucial role in cholesterol production. By doing so, rosuvastatin increases cell-surface LDL receptors in the liver which promotes better LDL uptake and breakdown. It also reduces hepatic synthesis of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), thereby decreasing total VLDL and LDL particles.

• Store your Rosuvas EZ 10 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in its original container, tightly closed to protect it from light and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use the tablet before its expiry date.

• Regular physical activity: Incorporate heart-healthy physical exercises like walking or cycling in your daily routine. This helps manage cholesterol levels and promotes overall heart health.

• Healthy dietary habits: Opt for a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Include more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats in your meals to help manage hyperlipidemia effectively.
