How Osustat-EZ 20 Tablet Works

Osustat-EZ 20 is a combination of Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe to lower high cholesterol. Rosuvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, leading to lower "bad" LDL cholesterol levels. Ezetimibe complements this by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines. Together, these actions effectively reduce cholesterol levels and help manage the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Osustat-EZ 20 may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
