Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Rozavel-EZ contains two drugs - Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe

There is no direct interaction between the two drugs.

All statins can cause liver problems
Alcohol will affect the liver
In combination, the risk is higher / SERIOUS SUDE EFFECTS can be caused.
It is NOT ADVISABLE TO DRINK.

Ezetimibe can also affect the liver – rare and not at all common like statins.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

How then this tablet is useful in BP control? or Does it reduce Chlorostrol?

Hi

These medicines have nothing to do with Blood Pressure.
They are for treating Cholesterol. They bring down the LDL cholesterol - which is the 'bad cholesterol' blocking the blood vessel and contributing to heart attack and stroke. They also have some effect in raising HDL cholesterol - the 'good cholesterol' that protects from blocks.

Good luck
