RosuRAAY-F
Prescription Required
Product Overview
RosuRAAY-F Tablet is a medicine used to lower elevated levels of lipids, specifically cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood when lifestyle changes alone are not enough. This way it supports heart health and helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
RosuRAAY-F Tablet can be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach. You can take it at any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time each day. This will help you remember to take it. Your doctor will prescribe the right dose depending on your lipid levels and how you respond to this medicine. Most people with high cholesterol and triglycerides do not feel ill, but stopping your medicine may increase your lipid levels, making your condition worse and increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke.
It is important to have your cholesterol and triglyceride levels (lipid profile) checked regularly. This medicine is only one part of a treatment program, which should also include a healthy low-fat diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, moderation of alcohol intake, and weight reduction. You can eat normally while taking this medicine, but try to avoid foods that are high in fat.
Nausea, stomach pain, constipation, headache, flatulence (excessive gas), and muscle pain are some of the common side effects of this medicine. These are usually mild and resolve after a short time. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you notice any yellowing of your eyes, unusual bleeding or bruising, or repeated, severe, or unexplained muscle pain. You may be advised to get your liver function tested periodically while taking this medicine.
This medicine should not be used in conditions such as liver disease (such as abnormal blood tests for liver function and persistent yellowing of the eyes). Before taking it, let your doctor know if you have any kidney-related problems or if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels while taking this medicine, as it may lead to an increase in blood sugar levels.
Used For
Treatment of High cholesterol
High cholesterol occurs when there is an excess of fatty substances in the blood, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. RosuRAAY-F Tablet helps lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and total cholesterol levels while raising “good” cholesterol (HDL). Lowering cholesterol helps protect the arteries, improves heart health, and reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
