Rosuvastatin is a type of medicine that lowers lipids (fats) in the blood. It works by stopping an enzyme that the body needs to make cholesterol. This helps reduce "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL).

Follow your doctor's instructions about how much and how long to take. Swallow the tablet whole. You can take it with or without food but try to take it at the same time every day.
