ROZAT 20 MG 14 tablets

Rozat 20 mg

Rozat 20 mg  is a statin, a type of medication that lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and glyceride levels, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke in the future. In our bodies, we have two types of cholesterol: good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) and bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) (low-density lipoprotein). Good cholesterol is beneficial to our hearts and aids in the reduction of bad cholesterol in our bodies. Excess bad cholesterol (LDL), on the other hand, raises the risk of heart disease, including heart attack and stroke. When there is an excess of the harmful balance of cholesterol in the blood, it is known as hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia. When your blood cholesterol levels are high, your arteries constrict and clog, which can lead to heart problems such as stroke and heart attack. High cholesterol is caused by eating high-fat or high-cholesterol foods/drinks, as well as genetic factors.

Rozat 20 mg  works by preventing liver enzymes from producing cholesterol, causing the liver to produce less. As a result, Rozat 20 mg  increases the uptake and breakdown of cholesterol in the blood by the liver. When lifestyle adjustments (such as a low-fat diet) have failed, Rozat 20 mg  decreases the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. By limiting our body’s creation of ‘bad’ cholesterol, Rozat 20 mg  lowers ‘bad’ cholesterol and raises ‘good’ cholesterol. It also boosts your body’s ability to flush it out of your system.

Rozat 20 mg  can be taken with or without food. With a glass of water, it should be consumed completely. It should not be chewed, bit, or broken. Based on your medical condition, your doctor will tell you how often you should take your medications. Myalgia (muscle pain), asthenia (lack of energy), nausea, headache, abdominal pain, muscle pain, weakness, and daytime drowsiness are all possible side effects. The majority of these Rozat 20 mg  side effects do not require medical care and will go away over time. However, if the negative effects do not go away, consult your doctor. It’s critical to have your lipid profile tested on a regular basis.

This medication is simply one component of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a low-fat diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, alcohol moderation, and weight loss. You can eat normally while taking this medication, however high-fat foods should be avoided. If you have kidney difficulties, are pregnant or nursing, have diabetes, severe lung illness, or a musculoskeletal disorder, tell your doctor before starting the dose of Rozat 20 mg . (like myopathy and rhabdomyolysis). Rozat 20 mg  should not be combined with immune system suppressing medications (cyclosporine) or anti-HIV medications (lopinavir, ritonavir, or atazanavir) since it may cause serious side effects.

Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), heart attack prevention, and stroke prevention are all benefits of Rozat 20 mg .

Medicinal Advantages

Rozat 20 mg  reduces the risk of heart disease and coronary events such as heart attack, stroke, and chest pain caused by the heart (angina). In patients who are at a high risk of these occurrences, Rozat 20 mg  can help. It’s also given to youngsters (aged 8 and up) with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic illness that causes high cholesterol), along with lipid-lowering medications and other dietary changes. In adult patients, Rozat 20 mg  has a critical role in reducing the progression of atherosclerosis (blocked arterial walls of the heart due to fat/lipid deposition, leading to heart attack and stroke).
