Ivus 10 Tablet contains Rosuvastatin 10 mg, a potent lipid-lowering agent belonging to the statin class of medications. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia to reduce elevated total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides, while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Rosuvastatin functions by selectively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, thereby decreasing cholesterol production in the liver and enhancing clearance of LDL particles from the bloodstream. Ivus 10 is prescribed as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle modifications, including exercise and weight reduction, in patients with primary hyperlipidemia or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. It is also indicated for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients at high risk due to multiple risk factors. The recommended dosage should be individualized based on patient response and tolerability, with regular monitoring of lipid levels and liver function tests advised during therapy. Ivus 10 is contraindicated in patients with active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevations of serum transaminases. Caution is warranted in patients with renal impairment or a history of muscle disorders due to the risk of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis.
