Ruvastat 20mg Tablets Ingredients and Usage

Ruvastat 20mg Tablets belongs to the class of medications known as statins. It is used in Pakistan to lower high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It is a key part of long-term cardiovascular health management, helping to prevent heart attacks and strokes. PakMeds provides Ruvastat 20mg Tablets to help you manage your lipid profile effectively. This medication is typically used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to maintain optimal cholesterol levels and protect the arteries from plaque buildup.

How Does Ruvastat 20mg Tablets Work?

The active ingredient, Rosuvastatin, works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver. This enzyme is responsible for the early stage of cholesterol production. By blocking this enzyme, the liver produces less cholesterol and increases the number of LDL receptors on cell surfaces, which helps remove 'bad' cholesterol from the blood. It also has the beneficial effect of slightly increasing HDL (good) cholesterol, providing a comprehensive improvement in the overall lipid profile.

Ruvastat 20mg Tablets Side Effects

Common side effects include headache, muscle pain (myalgia), and abdominal discomfort. Some patients may experience a feeling of weakness or nausea. Rare but serious side effects include severe muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) or liver issues. If you experience unexplained muscle weakness, contact your doctor immediately. PakMeds recommends periodic blood tests to monitor liver function while on long-term statin therapy.

List of Warnings:

• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption during treatment.
• Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
