Rosuvastatin 10mg

Rosuvastatin (Rosulip) is used to help with reducing the amount of cholesterol that is found in the body. This type of medication helps to reduce the creation of new cholesterol on the body. In order to reduce what is already in place, a person has to take on some lifestyle changes. This includes eating right, exercising daily, and shedding extra weight.

This medication is offered in a pill form and it is to be taken daily. Skipping doses can hinder the value of what it can do. It is best to take this medication at the same time every day. Rosuvastatin can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. The amount of it to be taken will depend on the amount of cholesterol level in the body. The doctor will start you on a low dose and then increase it over time.

However, with the use of this medication and effective lifestyle changes the need for it should be less over time. Never change the dose of Rosuvastatin within the approval of your doctor. Never consume alcohol while using this medicine as it can cause adverse effects. Women who are pregnant aren’t a good candidate for the use of it.

There are some side effects that can occur while taking it. They include dizziness, changes in sleep patterns, joint pain, and constipation. These side effects should go away within a week or so of the body getting used to the medicine. There can be side effects that are the result of Rosuvastatin interacting with other medications.

Always let your doctor know about anything you may take including herbal products. If there are severe side effects such as chest pain, yellowing of the skin, unusual bruising, or changes in heart rate then the doctor should be immediately notified. These severe side effects can cause very serious health problems if they aren’t addressed right away.
