What is Rosuvastatin used to treat?

Rosuvastatin is used to reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke and to decrease the chance that heart surgery will be needed in people with heart disease or significant risk factors of developing heart disease.

Rosuvastatin is also used to treat high cholesterol. It is often prescribed to children and teenagers who have a condition (called “familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia”) in which the body cannot naturally remove cholesterol.

How does Rosuvastatin work?

Rosuvastatin works by reducing a certain enzyme within the body that produces cholesterol. This decreases the amount of cholesterol and lipids that may build up on the walls of the arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis, which blocks blood flow to your heart, brain, and other parts of your body). Lowering your blood cholesterol levels and fats has been shown to prevent heart disease, chest pain (angina), heart attacks, and strokes.
