Rosuvastatin is a statin medication used to lower high cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It works by blocking an enzyme the liver uses to produce cholesterol, lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and raising HDL (good cholesterol). It is usually taken once daily alongside a healthy diet and exercise. Regular monitoring of cholesterol and liver function may be advised by your doctor.
