About Rosaver-10 Tablet

Rosaver-10 Tablet belongs to the class of medicines known as statins, which reduces bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein-LDL) and glyceride level, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke in the future. High cholesterol, known as hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia, occurs when there is an excess of the unhealthy balance of cholesterol in the blood. When there is a high cholesterol level in the blood, your arteries get narrowed and clogged, finally contributing to heart diseases like stroke and heart attack. 

Rosaver-10 Tablet works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. Rosaver-10 Tablet increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood. Thus, Rosaver-10 Tablet lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed.
