How ROSUEX-10 Works
Rosuvastatin belongs to the statin class of medicines. It inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver.
As a result, the liver produces less cholesterol and increases the removal of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream. This lowers circulating LDL-C and helps improve the overall lipid profile.
Common Side Effects of ROSUEX-10
Some people taking rosuvastatin may experience:
- Headache
- Dizziness

- Constipation
- Diarrhoea

Most people do not experience serious problems. However, unexplained or severe muscle pain, tenderness or weakness requires prompt medical attention because statins can rarely cause significant muscle injury.
Important Safety Information
Use ROSUEX-10 only according to the advice of a qualified healthcare professional.
- Tell your doctor if you have a history of liver disease or abnormal liver tests.
- Inform your healthcare professional if you have kidney problems or an underactive thyroid.
- Report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, cramps or weakness, especially if symptoms are severe or accompanied by fever or dark-coloured urine.
- Rosuvastatin can rarely cause serious muscle injury, including rhabdomyolysis.
- Tell your doctor about all medicines you take because some medicines can increase rosuvastatin exposure or the risk of muscle-related adverse effects.
- Medicines such as ciclosporin and certain antiviral treatments can interact with rosuvastatin.
- Tell your healthcare professional about vitamins, herbal products and supplements as well as prescription medicines.
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption because it can increase the risk of liver-related problems.
- Rosuvastatin should not be used during pregnancy because cholesterol and other products of cholesterol biosynthesis are important for fetal development. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant while taking it.
- Breastfeeding decisions should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
- Continue dietary and lifestyle measures recommended by your healthcare professional alongside prescribed treatment.
- Do not stop long-term statin treatment without discussing it with your doctor, as cholesterol levels may rise again after stopping therapy.
