How does Rosubest 10 mg work

Rosubest contains the active ingredient Rosuvastatin.

Rosuvastatin is in the class of medicines known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (Statins).

HMG-CoA reductase is a liver enzyme that converts HMG-CoA to Mevalonate, a crucial component required for the production of Cholesterol. 

This medicine works by blocking this liver enzyme, thus reducing Cholesterol production. 

Additionally, Rosuvastatin promotes the breakdown of lipids (collective term for fats and Cholesterol).

It also raises High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels, also known as good Cholesterol.
