Corestin 5 mg contains Rosuvastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) used to reduce elevated levels of LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides, while increasing HDL cholesterol. This lower-dose formulation is commonly prescribed for patients who are starting statin therapy or those who require mild-to-moderate cholesterol reduction.
Rosuvastatin helps in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke, especially in patients with risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of heart disease.
