How Rosuvas EZ Tablet works
Rosuvas EZ 10 Tablet is a combination of Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe to lower high cholesterol. Rosuvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, leading to lower "bad" LDL cholesterol levels. Ezetimibe complements this by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines. Together, these actions effectively reduce cholesterol levels and help manage the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
