Rosuvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol (a
type of fat) in the body. It works by reducing levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or
LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density
lipoprotein, or HDL).
Rosuvastatin is used to treat high cholesterol. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart
disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular
disease.
Rosuvastatin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
