Talk to General Physician on Cholesterol
Asking for Self, Male, 62 years old, Jeddah
السلام علیکم I have gone through an angioplasty before 3 years ago in Jeddah. I am using Rovista (Ruvastatin 20mg) along with Plavix 75 and Asprin 80. My cholesterol level was on 180 before which is dropped to 107 after the continuous use of Statin tablets. My question is that shall I continue with Rovista for some more time or can I discontinue it ?
Yes Dear
Use of Rovista is life saving drug for cardiac pts as it prevents narrowing of hearts vessels.
it is to be taken life long.
if you feals weakness or muscle pains then start taking
Tab Vit-o-Care once a day for a month
AoA! My advice to your question is to reduce the dose of Rosuvastatin to 5 mg daily as a maintenance and you need to continue it life long with annual evaluation of lipid profile which might need to further adjust the dose in future. Thanks
