ROSUVASTATINE BGR 10 mg, film-coated tablet has been prescribed to you because: · you have high cholesterol levels which means you are at risk of having a heart attack or a stroke. ROSUVASTATINE BGR is used in adults, adolescents and children aged 6 years and older to treat high cholesterol levels.

Or · you have other factors that increase your risk of having a heart attack, a stroke or health problems related to these factors. A heart attack, a stroke or health problems related to these factors can be caused by a disease called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is due to an accumulation of fat deposits in your arteries. Why it is important to continue taking ROSUVASTATINE BGR 10 mg, film-coated tablet: ROSUVASTATINE BGR is used to correct the level of fatty substances in the blood called lipids, the most common being cholesterol. There are different types of cholesterol found in the blood: "bad cholesterol" (LDL-C) and "good cholesterol" (HDL-C). · ROSUVASTATINE BGR can reduce "bad cholesterol" and increase "good cholesterol". · It works by helping to block the production of "bad cholesterol" by your body. It also improves your body's ability to eliminate it from your blood. For most people, high cholesterol levels have no consequence on how they feel because it causes no symptoms. However, without treatment, fatty deposits can build up on the walls of the blood vessels and reduce their diameter. Sometimes, this narrowing of the vessels can prevent the passage of blood to the heart or the brain leading to a heart attack or a stroke. By lowering your cholesterol levels, you can reduce the risk of having a heart attack, a stroke or related health problems. It is very important to continue taking ROSUVASTATINE BGR, even if your cholesterol levels return to normal, because it prevents the rise of your cholesterol levels and therefore the accumulation of fat deposits. However, you must stop your treatment if your doctor tells you to, or if you find that you are pregnant.
