Cardiologists in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi often prescribe this tablet for patients with high cholesterol linked to a fatty local diet.

Rosuvastatin blocks an enzyme the liver uses to make cholesterol. This lowers the cholesterol circulating in the blood over several weeks.

Patients should pair the tablet with regular exercise and a low fat diet. Routine blood tests help the doctor track liver function and response.
