Corik 50mg Tablets – Effective Cholesterol & Heart Health Support

Description:

Corik (50mg) contains Rosuvastatin, a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver, which helps decrease LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides while slightly increasing HDL (“good” cholesterol). Regular use of Corik supports heart health and helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications.
