Kestore Tablet Uses

Kestore is used to lower high levels of cholesterol in the blood, which can help prevent heart disease. It works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, which in turn lowers the amount of cholesterol that is transported in the blood.

Kestore is composed of Rosuvastatin calcium which belongs to the class of drugs called statins which work to lower the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood .
