Product Details

Kestore 5mg Tablets contain rosuvastatin, a statin used to control cholesterol levels in the body. It works primarily in the liver to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and VLDL while raising HDL (good cholesterol). Kestore 5mg Tablets help reduce the risk of heart disease by targeting high cholesterol levels and improving lipid profiles.

Purposes

Kestore 5mg is prescribed for managing hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and mixed dyslipidemia. It is often used as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle changes in order to reduce elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglycerides, while increasing HDL-C. The drug is essential for patients aiming to reduce their risk of cardiovascular events due to high cholesterol.

Warnings

Patients on Tablets should use this medication cautiously if they have a history of liver disease or consume large quantities of alcohol. Regular monitoring of liver function is recommended during treatment. The medication should also be prescribed carefully for patients with conditions that predispose them to muscle damage (myopathy or rhabdomyolysis), such as kidney insufficiency, hypothyroidism, or a family history of muscle disorders.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Tablets include headache, dizziness, constipation, nausea, and muscle pain. More severe adverse effects, like hypersensitivity reactions, angioedema, and myopathy, can occur, though they are rare. If you experience symptoms such as muscle weakness, pain, or severe skin reactions, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately.

Cautions

Patients allergic to rosuvastatin or any of its components should avoid Tablets. This medication is contraindicated for individuals with active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevations of liver enzymes. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid this medication. Adjustments in dosing may be required based on individual responses and specific health conditions, especially in those with predisposing factors for muscle toxicity or kidney issues.
