RECOTOR 40 MG TAB contains Rosuvastatin, a potent statin used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver, helping to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels. This medication is primarily used to treat hypercholesterolemia, reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events, and manage familial hypercholesterolemia. It is typically prescribed alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle changes. Common side effects include headache, muscle pain, and digestive issues. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor before altering the treatment plan. Regular monitoring of liver function and muscle health is recommended during treatment.
