Turbovas 5mg Tablets, 30 Tablets
Turbovas 5mg Tablets are a cholesterol-lowering medication used to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. The active ingredient, Rosuvastatin, belongs to a group of medicines called statins, which have been shown to be effective in lowering cholesterol levels. If you have been advised by your doctor to take a statin, Turbovas can help correct your cholesterol levels and protect your heart health.
Why it is important to keep taking Turbovas?
Turbovas is used to correct the levels of fatty substances in the blood called lipids, the most common of which is cholesterol.
There are different types of cholesterol found in the blood – ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL-C) and ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL-C)
Rosuvastatin can reduce the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increase the ‘good’ cholesterol.
• It works by helping to block your body’s production of ‘bad’ cholesterol. It also improves your body’s ability to remove it from your blood.
For most people, high cholesterol does not affect the way they feel because it does not produce any
symptoms. However, if it is left untreated, fatty deposits can build up in the walls of your blood vessels causing them to narrow.
Sometimes, these narrowed blood vessels can get blocked which can cut off the blood supply to the heart
or brain leading to a heart attack or a stroke. By lowering your cholesterol levels, you can reduce your risk of having a heart attack, a stroke or
related health problems.
You need to keep taking Rosuvastatin, even if it has got your cholesterol to the right level, because it prevents your
cholesterol levels from creeping up again and causing build-up of fatty deposits.
However, you should stop if your doctor tells you to do so, or you have become pregnant.
Can someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding use Turbovas 5mg Tablets?
Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should not use Turbovas 10mg Tablets without speaking to a doctor.

How to Use
How to take Turbovas 5mg Tablets
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check
with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Recommended doses in adults
If you are taking Rosuvastatin for high cholesterol:
Starting dose
Your treatment with Rosuvastatin must start with the 5 mg or the 10 mg dose,
even if you have taken a higher dose of a different statin before. The choice of
your start dose will depend upon:
• Your cholesterol levels.
• The level of risk you have of
experiencing a heart attack or stroke.
• Whether you have a factor that may make you more sensitive to possible
side effects.
Please check with your doctor or pharmacist which start dose of Rosuvastatin will best suit you.
Your doctor may decide to give you the lowest dose (5 mg) if:
• You are of Asian origin (Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean
and Indian).
• You are over 70 years of age.
• You have moderate kidney problems.
• You are at risk of muscle aches and pains (myopathy). Increasing the dose and maximum daily dose
Your doctor may decide to increase your
dose. This is so that you are taking the
amount of Rosuvastatin that is right for you.
If you started with a 5 mg dose, your doctor
may decide to double this to 10 mg then
20 mg and then 40 mg if necessary.
If you started on 10 mg, your doctor may
decide to double this to 20 mg and then
40 mg if necessary. There will be a gap of
four weeks between every dose adjustment.
The maximum daily dose of Rosuvastatin
is 40 mg. It is only for patients with high
cholesterol levels and a high risk of heart
attacks or stroke whose cholesterol levels
are not lowered enough with 20 mg.
If you are taking Rosuvastatin to reduce
your risk of having a heart attack, stroke
or related health problems:
The recommended dose is 20 mg daily.
However, your doctor may decide to use a
lower dose if you have any of the factors
mentioned above.
Use in children and adolescents aged
6–17 years
The dose range in children and adolescents
aged 6 to 17 years is 5 to 20 mg once
daily. The usual start dose is 5 mg per day
and your doctor may gradually increase
your dose to find the right amount of
Rosuvastatin for you. The maximum daily
dose of Rosuvastatin is 10 mg or 20 mg
for children aged 6 to 17 years depending
on your underlying condition being treated.
Take your dose once a day. Rosuvastatin
40 mg tablet should not be used by
children.
Taking your film-coated tablets
Swallow each tablet whole with a drink of
water.
Take Rosuvastatin once daily. You can
take it at any time of the day with or without
food.
Try to take your tablet at the same time
every day to help you to remember it.
Regular cholesterol checks
It is important to go back to your doctor for
regular cholesterol checks, to make sure
your cholesterol has reached and is staying
at the correct level.
Your doctor may decide to increase your
dose so that you are taking the amount of
Rosuvastatin that is right for you
