ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S

How ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S Works

• ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. It combines rosuvastatin, a statin, with fenofibrate, a fibrate. Each component works through distinct mechanisms to provide a comprehensive approach to lipid management.
• Rosuvastatin, the statin component, primarily inhibits the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver. This enzyme is crucial for the synthesis of cholesterol. By blocking HMG-CoA reductase, rosuvastatin reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver. This leads to a decrease in LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels in the blood. Furthermore, the liver responds to the reduced cholesterol production by increasing the number of LDL receptors, which further helps in removing LDL-cholesterol from the bloodstream. Rosuvastatin also modestly increases HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol) and reduces triglycerides.
• Fenofibrate, the fibrate component, works by activating a protein called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα). PPARα is found in various tissues, including the liver and muscle. When activated, PPARα increases the production of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides in the blood. This leads to a significant reduction in triglyceride levels. Additionally, fenofibrate increases the production of HDL-cholesterol and can also reduce LDL-cholesterol, particularly small, dense LDL particles which are more atherogenic.
• The combined action of rosuvastatin and fenofibrate provides a synergistic effect in managing dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels). Rosuvastatin effectively lowers LDL-cholesterol, while fenofibrate primarily reduces triglycerides and increases HDL-cholesterol. This combination is particularly useful for patients with mixed dyslipidemia, characterized by high LDL-cholesterol, high triglycerides, and low HDL-cholesterol.
• By addressing multiple lipid parameters, ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S helps to reduce the formation of plaque in the arteries (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Lowering LDL-cholesterol reduces the amount of cholesterol available to form plaques, while reducing triglycerides and increasing HDL-cholesterol helps to stabilize and even reverse plaque formation. The overall effect is a reduced risk of cardiovascular events and improved cardiovascular health.
• Furthermore, ROZUCOR F LS is available in a 'low strength' (LS) formulation, which typically means a lower dose of each active ingredient. This can be beneficial for patients who are more sensitive to the side effects of statins or fibrates, or for those who require a less aggressive approach to lipid management. The specific dosage will be determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient's individual lipid profile, risk factors, and overall health.

Common side effects of Rozucor F LS Tablet may include headache, muscle pain, weakness, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion. Uncommon side effects could involve skin rash, itching, hives, increased liver enzymes, and muscle disorders. Rare side effects reported are severe allergic reactions, liver problems, kidney problems, pancreatitis, and muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis). Other potential side effects include dizziness, fatigue, memory loss, depression, sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, and increased blood sugar levels.

• If you miss a dose of Rozucor F LS Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep ROZUCOR F LS TAB 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store ROZUCOR F LS TAB 1X10 at room temperature.

• Take ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change the dosage or stop taking the medicine without consulting your healthcare provider, as this could affect your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
• ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Focus on reducing your intake of saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, and sugar, and aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. This holistic approach maximizes the benefits of the medication for heart health.
• Be aware of potential side effects. While generally well-tolerated, ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S can sometimes cause muscle pain or weakness. Report any unexplained muscle aches, tenderness, or weakness to your doctor immediately, especially if accompanied by fever or fatigue. Other possible side effects include digestive issues and, rarely, liver problems.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking before starting ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S. This is crucial to avoid potential drug interactions that could reduce the effectiveness of the medication or increase the risk of side effects. Pay special attention to medications like blood thinners or other cholesterol-lowering drugs.
• Regular blood tests are essential while taking ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S. Your doctor will monitor your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as liver function, to ensure the medication is working effectively and to detect any potential problems early. Attend all scheduled appointments and follow your doctor's instructions closely to optimize your treatment.

• ROZUCOR F LS TABLET 10'S can be taken with or without food. However, it is advisable to take it at a fixed time to maintain consistent medicine levels in the body.
