What Experts Say

Rosuvastatin blocks an enzyme called HMG CoA reductase, which the liver needs to produce cholesterol. With less cholesterol being made, the liver pulls more LDL cholesterol out of the bloodstream, lowering overall levels.

It is considered one of the stronger statins available and can lower LDL cholesterol significantly, even at lower doses compared to some older statins. Doctors usually start with a lower dose and adjust based on cholesterol testing after a few weeks of treatment.

Muscle aches are the most commonly reported side effect, and doctors watch for unusual muscle pain or weakness, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. Routine liver function tests are sometimes recommended during long term use.
