Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi, my mothers cholesterol level is high, Dr. has given Rosuvas to lower the cholesterol levels. is it important to take this medicine. i have recently done her liver profile. the reports are very bad. i got to know that Rosuvas effects the liver. need your opinion on the same. thanks...
1. Yes, it is important to take it to lower the high cholesterol levels. 2. Its common side effects include abdominal discomfort, muscle pain or tenderness, muscle weakness and liver dysfunction (liver injury). 3. She seems to have developed liver injury, so I advise her to stop taking it and an alternate effective but a safer cholesterol lower medication would be prescribed by her treating doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
