Description
Fortius 5mg Tablet contains Rosuvastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that lowers elevated LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides while raising beneficial HDL cholesterol. The 5mg dose is commonly used as an initial therapy for patients with mild to moderate dyslipidaemia, elderly patients, or those who are statin-naive or at higher risk of muscle-related side effects.
Rosuvastatin reduces cardiovascular risk by improving the lipid profile and stabilising atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels. It is indicated for primary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with multiple risk factors (such as diabetes, hypertension, or smoking history) and for secondary prevention in those with established coronary artery disease.
Patients taking Fortius 5mg should have their lipid levels and liver enzymes monitored periodically. Muscle pain (myalgia) or weakness should be reported promptly. The drug is contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Dosage may be escalated by the physician to higher strengths if lipid targets are not achieved at 5mg.
A valid prescription is required. Order at Derma.pk with nationwide delivery across Pakistan. Contact us at sales@derma.pk or WhatsApp +92-320-5999650.
