• Lowers LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B while raising HDL levels.
• Reduces cardiovascular risk in hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, and diabetes patients.
• Starting dose for primary prevention of atherosclerotic disease.
• Uncoated tablets from Cipla, consistent with their Rosugard 20 mg variant.

Rosugard 10 mg Tablets contain rosuvastatin calcium equivalent to 10 mg rosuvastatin, a statin that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase to decrease cholesterol synthesis in the liver and increase LDL receptor-mediated clearance from blood. It treats primary hypercholesterolemia (heterozygous familial and non-familial), mixed dyslipidemia, and slows atherosclerosis progression in high-risk adults when diet alone fails. This lower strength suits initial therapy, Asian patients, or those with renal/hepatic concerns before escalating to 20 mg.

Take one tablet daily, preferably evening, with or without food; swallow whole. Monitor lipid profile after 2-4 weeks to assess response (target LDL reduction 40-50%). Lifelong use common; combine with low-saturated fat diet (<7% calories from saturated fat), ≥30 min daily exercise, and smoking cessation. Regular LFTs (ALT/AST) and CK needed; discontinue if ALT >3x ULN persists.

Contraindicated in pregnancy (teratogenic), lactation, active liver disease, or unexplained transaminase elevations. Muscle pain/weakness may signal myopathy—urgent evaluation required. Common effects: headache, nausea, myalgia (dose-related). Avoid grapefruit; interactions with fibrates, cyclosporine, or warfarin amplify risks.
