Vesonor (10Mg) 10 Tablets

Overview

Vesonor 10mg Tablets are an oral lipid-lowering medicine containing rosuvastatin. Rosuvastatin belongs to the statin group of medicines and is used as part of a doctor-directed plan to manage abnormal cholesterol and lipid levels. It is typically recommended alongside diet changes, regular physical activity, weight management and control of other cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, smoking and high blood pressure.

This product is supplied as a pack of 10 tablets and is intended for patients who have been advised to take rosuvastatin 10mg by a qualified healthcare professional. It should not be started, stopped or changed without medical advice, because cholesterol treatment often requires periodic monitoring of lipid levels, liver enzymes, muscle symptoms and overall cardiovascular risk.
