Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that produces cholesterol, thereby helping to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol.

Regular monitoring of liver function may be recommended during treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage and avoid alcohol consumption unless advised otherwise.
