Rosetor EZ Tablet 5 mg+10 mg combines Rosuvastatin Calcium and Ezetimibe to provide a dual-action approach for managing high cholesterol. Rosuvastatin, a statin, reduces LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis in the liver, while Ezetimibe decreases the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine. This combination therapy is ideal for patients who require enhanced lipid-lowering effects beyond what a single agent can achieve. Rosetor EZ helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.

Composition
-
Rosuvastatin Calcium: 5 mg
-
Ezetimibe: 10 mg
-
Dosage Form: Oral tablet
Indications
Rosetor EZ Tablet is indicated for:
-
Hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol)
-
Mixed dyslipidemia (elevated LDL and triglycerides)
-
Patients not achieving target lipid levels with statin monotherapy
-

Mechanism of Action
-
Rosuvastatin Calcium: A selective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that reduces cholesterol synthesis in the liver, lowering LDL and total cholesterol while modestly increasing HDL.

The combination of these two mechanisms provides a synergistic effect, achieving greater LDL reduction than either drug alone.
