What Experts Say

Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe lower cholesterol through two different pathways in the body. Rosuvastatin slows cholesterol production inside the liver, while Ezetimibe blocks cholesterol absorption from food in the small intestine. Combining both drugs at a low statin dose still gives a meaningful drop in LDL cholesterol.

Doctors commonly choose this lower 5mg strength for patients new to statin therapy or those at higher risk of muscle related side effects, including elderly patients and people with reduced kidney function. Research on rosuvastatin also shows that South Asian patients tend to reach higher blood levels of the drug at standard doses, which is one reason doctors in Pakistan often begin treatment cautiously at this strength.

Cholesterol and liver function tests are usually repeated within a few weeks of starting treatment. If LDL cholesterol targets are not reached, doctors may gradually increase the dose rather than switching medicines. Most patients on this strength are reviewed every few months once their cholesterol levels settle.
