About ROSUVASTATIN+L METHYLFOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+VITAMIN D3
ROSUVASTATIN+L METHYLFOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+VITAMIN D3 is a combination medicine used to lower bad cholesterol and thus prevent the risk of heart attack and stroke in the future. It is used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia (High cholesterol) occurs when there is an excess of the bad cholesterol (unhealthy balance of cholesterol) in the blood which results in narrow and clogged arteries. The blockage is most often because of the fat build-up, and other substances, resulting in the formation of plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). ROSUVASTATIN+L METHYLFOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+VITAMIN D3 is also a combination of vitamins that helps provide essential nutrients required for the body.
ROSUVASTATIN+L METHYLFOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+VITAMIN D3 is a combination of an antilipidemic drug (Rosuvastatin) and vitamins. Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering agent (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) that helps reduce cholesterol production by blocking liver enzymes. It helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and glycerides, thereby improving your body’s ability to remove them from the blood. ROSUVASTATIN+L METHYLFOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+VITAMIN D3 contains vitamins such as pyridoxine, mecobalamin, Vitamin D3, and L-Methyl folate that provide the required nutrients for the body’s daily functioning.

ROSUVASTATIN+L METHYLFOLATE+METHYLCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+VITAMIN D3 should be avoided if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you are diabetic or have any active kidney disease, before starting the treatment. It is contraindicated in pregnancy as it may cause fetal harm if given to pregnant women. Children below 18 years of age should not take this medicine due to unestablished safety and efficacy issues.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Hyperlipidemia: Generally, your body contains bad cholesterol- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and good cholesterol- High cholesterol lipoprotein (HDL). Good cholesterol is good for our heart and helps in reducing the LDL from our body, whereas an excess of bad cholesterol (LDL) leads to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke. The high amount of bad cholesterol in the blood is known as hyperlipidemia which results in narrow and clogged arteries. The blockage is most often because of the fat build-up, and other substances, resulting in the formation of plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). Eating high-fat or high-cholesterol-containing food/drinks and genetic factors are the primary causes of high cholesterol.
