Introduction

Rosuvastatin + Vitamin D3 is a combination medication used primarily to manage high cholesterol levels and promote bone health. Rosuvastatin is a statin that lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol and increases "good" HDL cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of heart diseases. Vitamin D3 helps in calcium absorption and supports strong bones and immunity. Together, they provide a dual benefit, especially for individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease and vitamin D deficiency. This composition is prescribed by healthcare providers to offer a comprehensive approach to heart and bone care, especially in elderly patients or those with comorbid conditions.
