ROZUCOR F 10 Tablets

Uses and Benefits of ROZUCOR F 10 Tablets (ROSUVASTATIN 10MG+FENOFIBRATE 160MG)

This composition is used to treat mixed dyslipidaemia, a condition where both cholesterol and triglyceride levels are high, increasing the risk of heart disease.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Lowering high LDL (bad) cholesterol
• Lowering high triglyceride levels
• Raising HDL (good) cholesterol
• Reducing risk of heart disease in people with mixed lipid disorders

HOW IT WORKS

• Rosuvastatin blocks an enzyme in the liver needed to make cholesterol, reducing LDL production
• Fenofibrate activates a receptor that helps break down fat particles, lowering triglycerides
• Together they improve overall lipid profile more than either alone

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for immediate relief of chest pain or heart attack
• Not a treatment for high blood pressure
• Not used for weight loss
• Not a substitute for diet and exercise in managing cholesterol

This medicine should only be used under medical supervision, with periodic blood tests to monitor cholesterol, liver, and kidney function.
