How Rosuvas B Tablet works
Rosuvas B 180mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines. Bempedoic acid inhibits an enzyme called adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL) and blocks the production of cholesterol in the liver. Rosuvastatin blocks an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase and slows the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body.
