What Experts Say

Rosuvastatin blocks HMG-CoA reductase, the liver enzyme that controls how much cholesterol the body makes. Lowering this production signals liver cells to pull more LDL cholesterol out of the bloodstream, which is why LDL levels usually drop within four to six weeks of consistent daily use.

Dosing usually starts low and is adjusted based on how the lipid profile responds and how well the tablet is tolerated. South Asian patients, including most Pakistani patients, tend to have higher rosuvastatin levels in the blood than other populations, so doctors often begin at a lower strength before increasing it.

Liver enzymes are usually checked before starting and again if symptoms appear, since statins can occasionally raise them. Anyone who develops unexplained muscle pain or weakness should mention it promptly, since this can signal a rare but serious muscle reaction that needs prompt medical review from a doctor.
