class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Rosuvastatin STADA is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosuvastatin Stada contains the active substance rosuvastatin, which belongs to a group of medicines called statins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You have been prescribed Rosuvastatin Stada because:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>you have a high cholesterol level.\u00a0This means that you have an increased risk of having a heart attack or\u00a0stroke.\u00a0Rosuvastatin Stada 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 because dietary changes and increased exercise were not enough to correct your cholesterol levels.\u00a0You should continue your cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise while taking Rosuvastatin Stada.<\/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 related health problems.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it&#8217;s important to continue taking Rosuvastatin Stada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosuvastatin Stada is used to correct the concentration of certain fats in the blood, so-called\u00a0lipids, the most common of which is\u00a0cholesterol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different types of&nbsp;cholesterol&nbsp;in the blood, the &#8220;bad&#8221;&nbsp;cholesterol&nbsp;(&nbsp;LDL-C&nbsp;) and the &#8220;good&#8221;&nbsp;cholesterol&nbsp;(&nbsp;HDL-C&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rosuvastatin Stada can lower 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 your blood.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, high cholesterol levels do not affect how they feel because high cholesterol levels do not cause any symptoms.&nbsp;However, if left untreated, fat deposits can settle on the walls of your blood vessels and make them narrower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 a\u00a0stroke.\u00a0By lowering your cholesterol levels, you can reduce the risk of having a heart attack,\u00a0stroke,\u00a0or other related health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to\u00a0<strong>continue taking Rosuvastatin Stada<\/strong>\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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosuvastatin contained in Rosuvastatin Stada 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 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you take

increased levels of liver enzymes in the blood.&nbsp;For this reason, doctors will usually perform this blood test (liver function test) before and during treatment with Rosuvastatin Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During treatment with this medicine, your doctor will closely monitor you if you have\u00a0diabetes\u00a0or are at high risk for\u00a0diabetes.\u00a0You are more likely to
