Rosuvastatin Accord is used in adults, adolescents, and children from 6 years of age to treat high\u00a0cholesterol.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You have been advised to take a statin, as dietary changes and increased exercise were not enough to correct your cholesterol levels.&nbsp;You should continue your cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise while taking Rosuvastatin Accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You have other factors that increase the risk of having a heart attack,\u00a0stroke,\u00a0or other health problems related to cardiovascular\u00a0disease.<\/li><li>Myocardial infarction,\u00a0stroke,\u00a0and other cardiovascular\u00a0health\u00a0problems can be caused by a disease called atherosclerosis (atherosclerosis).\u00a0The cause of atherosclerosis is that fat accumulates in the\u00a0arteries.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is it important to continue taking&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Rosuvastatin Accord?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rosuvastatin Accord is used to correct the concentration of certain fats in the blood, called\u00a0lipids.\u00a0The most common of these is\u00a0cholesterol.<\/li><li>There are different types of\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0in the blood, the &#8220;bad&#8221;\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0(\u00a0LDL-C\u00a0) and the &#8220;good&#8221;\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0(\u00a0HDL-C\u00a0).<\/li><li>Rosuvastatin Accord can reduce the &#8220;bad&#8221;\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0and increase the &#8220;good&#8221;\u00a0cholesterol.<\/li><li>It works by helping your body reduce the production of &#8220;bad&#8221;\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0and improve your body&#8217;s ability to remove it from the blood.<\/li><li>For most people, high cholesterol levels do not affect how they feel because high cholesterol levels do not cause any symptoms.\u00a0If left untreated, however, fat deposits can accumulate on the walls of blood vessels and make them narrower.<\/li><li>Sometimes these narrow blood vessels can be blocked and then shut off the blood supply to the heart or brain, which can lead to a heart attack or\u00a0stroke.\u00a0By lowering your cholesterol levels, you can reduce the risk of having a heart attack,\u00a0stroke,\u00a0or other related health problems.<\/li><li>You need to\u00a0continue taking Rosuvastatin Accord\u00a0even if your\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0has reached the right level because\u00a0<strong>it prevents your cholesterol levels from rising again<\/strong>\u00a0so that fat accumulates.\u00a0However, you should stop if your doctor advises you to do so, or if you have become pregnant.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosuvastatin contained in the Rosuvastatin Accord may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

Rosuvastatin Accord.\u00a0Stop using Rosuvastatin Accord and seek medical advice immediately if you notice any of the symptoms described in section 4.<\/li><li>if you are over 70 years old (then your doctor will need to choose the right starting dose of Rosuvastatin Accord that is right for you).<\/li><li>if you suffer from severe respiratory failure.<\/li><li>if you are of Asian origin (Japanese, Chinese, Philippines, Vietnamese, Korean, or Indian) your doctor will need to choose the right starting dose of Rosuvastatin Accord that is right for you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If any of the above applies to you (or if you are unsure):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Do not take Rosuvastatin Accord 40 mg (the highest&nbsp;dose&nbsp;one) and talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any&nbsp;dose&nbsp;of Rosuvastatin Accord.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a small number of people, statins can affect the liver.&nbsp;This is detected by a simple test that examines increased levels of liver enzymes in the blood.&nbsp;For this reason, your doctor will usually perform this blood test (liver function test) before and during treatment with Rosuvastatin Accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During treatment with this medicine, your doctor will closely monitor you if you have\u00a0diabetes\u00a0or are at risk of developing\u00a0diabetes.\u00a0You are more likely to
