Product introduction
Rosuvas EZ Tablet is a combination medicine that pairs Rosuvastatin with Ezetimibe to tackle high cholesterol from two different directions at once. It is typically prescribed for patients whose cholesterol remains poorly controlled on a statin alone, or for those who need a stronger combined effect. By acting on both cholesterol production in the liver and cholesterol absorption in the gut, it offers a more thorough approach to lipid management. This tablet is intended for long-term, once-daily use under a doctor's supervision.
Storage: Store below 30°C, protected from light and moisture.
