Rosuvastatin + Fenofibrate Tablets

Description

Rosuvastatin + Fenofibrate Tablets come with the brand name brand name “ROSUSPAR-F” and are administered to reduce a raised level of total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) level. It avoids the possibility of experiencing any cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and chest pain related to heart (angina) in the future. The narrowing of the heart is caused by the higher concentration of bad cholesterol (triglycerides - TG and low-density lipoprotein -LDL), which accumulate fat, cholesterol and other waxy substance layers forming a plaque in the artery lining of the wall (coronary arteries). This raises the likelihood of suffering from a blood clot and heart attack in an individual.

Rosuvastatin + Fenofibrate Tablets consist of Rosuvastatin (statin) and Fenofibrate (fibric acid derivative). Rosuvastatin reduces the levels of increased lipids called cholesterol and triglycerides in blood and raises the 'good' cholesterol (HDL) by inhibiting our body's formation of 'bad' cholesterol. It also enhances your body's function to eliminate it from your blood. Alternatively, Fenofibrate acts by reducing the amount of triglyceride in the blood.

Medical Benefits

• This medicine is useful in patients with Hypertriglyceridemia (increased triglyceride level), Hypercholesterolemia (increased level of cholesterol), and Mixed Dyslipidaemia (increased level of triglycerides – TG, low-density lipoprotein – LDL, and decreased level of high-density lipoprotein – HDL).
• Rosuvastatin initially raises the LDL (bad cholesterol) in the liver cells for engulfment and degradation. Then, it inhibits the production of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) produced by the liver to decrease the number of harmful cholesterols (LDL and VLDL).
• Fenofibrate operates by enhancing the enzyme (a natural compound) that decomposes fat or lipids found in blood.
• Apart from that, Fenofibrate lowers the elevated uric acid concentration by enhancing the uric acid elimination through urine.
• It is also prescribed to diabetic patients with a higher level of lipid and cholesterol to reduce cardiovascular hazards such as heart attack, stroke, and chest pain related to the heart (angina).
