DESCRIPTION

Rosutec-F Tablet (Rosuvastatin 10 mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg) is used to treat high levels of fat in the blood. It helps lower bad cholesterol and triglycerides, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Rosutec-F Tablet  (Rosuvastatin 10 mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg) decreases the amount of cholesterol produced by the body and also helps in the natural breakdown of fats.

INDICATION

• Mixed Dyslipidemia: Rosutec-F (Rosuvastatin 10 mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg) is indicated in patients with elevated levels of both cholesterol and triglycerides to help improve the overall lipid profile.

• Hypertriglyceridemia: Rosutec-F (Rosuvastatin 10 mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg) is used to manage high triglyceride levels, helping reduce the risk of pancreatitis and long-term cardiovascular complications.

• Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: Rosutec-F (Rosuvastatin 10 mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg) is recommended for patients at increased risk of heart disease to lower the chances of heart attack, stroke, and other atherosclerotic complications.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

• Rosuvastatin : Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is responsible for cholesterol production in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, it reduces the amount of cholesterol made in the body. It also increases the number of LDL receptors on liver cells, which enhances the removal of LDL (bad cholesterol) from the bloodstream, thereby lowering overall LDL levels.

• Fenofibrate : Fenofibrate activates PPAR-α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha), a protein that helps regulate fat metabolism. This activation increases the breakdown of fatty acids, reduces triglyceride levels, and raises HDL (good cholesterol). Together, these actions improve the overall lipid profile and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
