• Lower elevated levels of LDL cholesterol.
• Increase levels of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often called "good" cholesterol.
• Reduce triglycerides in the blood.
• Decrease the risk of heart-related complications in individuals with conditions like atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease.

• Muscle pain or weakness
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea
• Constipation
• Diarrhea

Serious side effects are rare but can include muscle problems (myopathy or rhabdomyolysis) and liver problems. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

• Rosuvastatin is typically taken as a tablet by mouth.
• Follow your healthcare provider's prescribed dosage and instructions.
• It can be taken with or without food, but it's essential to take it at the same time each day.
• Do not stop taking rosuvastatin without consulting your healthcare provider, even if you feel well.

Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that plays a key role in cholesterol production. By reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, it helps lower blood cholesterol levels.

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
