ROUSTRIN 40 is manufactured and marketed by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. It's a single-ingredient tablet containing 40mg of rosuvastatin, the maximum standard strength of this statin.

How ROUSTRIN 40 Works

Rosuvastatin blocks an enzyme in the liver called HMG-CoA reductase, a key step the liver uses to manufacture cholesterol. With this enzyme blocked, the liver produces less cholesterol internally and compensates by pulling more LDL ("bad") cholesterol out of the bloodstream, using increased numbers of LDL receptors on its surface. Over several weeks of consistent use, this lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while modestly raising HDL ("good") cholesterol for many patients.

At 40mg, this effect is at its most pronounced within the standard rosuvastatin dosing range, delivering the largest LDL reduction the medicine can typically achieve — which is exactly why it's reserved for situations where that level of reduction is specifically needed.

Who Is ROUSTRIN 40 Typically Prescribed For?

Only your doctor can confirm whether this specific strength is appropriate for you, weighing your cholesterol levels, cardiovascular risk, kidney function, and ethnic background into that decision. Broadly, it's commonly considered for adults in India who:

• Have LDL cholesterol that remained above target on 20mg after an adequate trial period
• Have significant existing cardiovascular disease where doctors are targeting a more aggressive LDL reduction
• Have very high baseline cholesterol levels, including certain inherited cholesterol conditions
• Have been assessed by their doctor as tolerating lower doses well, with kidney function and other factors supportive of this higher strength
• Are being closely monitored with periodic blood tests, given the more intensive follow-up this dose typically involves

This is not a typical starting dose for someone newly diagnosed with high cholesterol. If you're new to statin treatment, expect to start lower, with 40mg reserved as a later step only if genuinely needed.

Possible Side Effects and Precautions

This is a general overview, not a complete list. Because this is the highest standard rosuvastatin dose, your doctor's specific monitoring plan for your situation matters more than general information — read the pack insert as well.

Commonly reported effects can include:

• Muscle aches, more likely to be noticeable at this dose than at lower ones
• Headache
• Digestive upset, such as nausea or constipation
• Elevations in liver enzymes, monitored through routine blood tests
• A modest increase in blood sugar levels in some people, particularly those already at risk of diabetes

Tell your doctor before starting or continuing if you:

• Are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding — statins are not recommended during pregnancy
• Are of Asian or South Asian ancestry, which affects how your doctor approaches dosing at this level, as described above
• Have active liver disease
• Have any degree of kidney impairment, since this affects suitability for this dose specifically
• Have a personal or family history of muscle disorders
• Regularly consume significant amounts of alcohol
• Take other medicines that increase the risk of muscle-related side effects when combined with statins, particularly fibrates and certain other medicines — always share your full medicine list with your doctor

Buy ROUSTRIN 40 — 10x10 Tablet Pack

ROUSTRIN 40 (rosuvastatin 40mg) is supplied as 10x10 tablets — 100 tablets total across 10 strips, sized for extended, uninterrupted long-term therapy, which suits how statin treatment is typically managed once a stable, effective dose has been established.

Before you place your order:

• Keep your prescription handy. A clear photo or scan is generally sufficient for verification at checkout, since Schedule H medicines cannot legally be dispensed in India without a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.
• Confirm the strength matches exactly. Make sure your prescription specifically says 40mg, since this is the maximum standard rosuvastatin strength and shouldn't be assumed or substituted.
• Store the full box properly, since a larger pack means more tablets to keep protected from heat, light, and moisture over a longer period.
• Buy only from licensed pharmacies that verify prescriptions and issue a proper bill.
