Introduction

Rozavel F Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It contains two active ingredients: rosuvastatin and fenofibrate. Rosuvastatin is a statin that works to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and total cholesterol, while fenofibrate helps lower triglycerides and increase HDL (good cholesterol). This combination therapy is typically prescribed to patients with a high risk of cardiovascular diseases due to elevated lipid levels.

Uses of Rozavel F Tablet

Rozavel F Tablet is commonly used for:

• Lowering high levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides.
• Increasing HDL (good cholesterol) to improve overall cholesterol balance.
• Reducing the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.
• Managing lipid imbalances in patients with hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia.

How it Works

Rozavel F Tablet works by combining the effects of its two active ingredients. Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that produces cholesterol, leading to a reduction in LDL and total cholesterol levels. Fenofibrate, on the other hand, helps lower triglycerides by increasing the breakdown of these fats and boosting HDL (good cholesterol) levels.

Benefits of Rozavel F Tablet

• Reduces LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, improving lipid profile.
• Increases HDL cholesterol to help protect against heart disease.
• Reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular issues in individuals with high cholesterol.
• Improves overall heart health by managing lipid imbalances.
