Novastat-Ez 20 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Rosuvastatin (20 mg): This ingredient is part of the statin class of medications. Rosuvastatin works by blocking an enzyme in your liver called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme plays a key role in producing cholesterol. By inhibiting this, rosuvastatin reduces the production of LDL or "bad" cholesterol in your body. It also aids in increasing the uptake and breakdown of existing LDL cholesterol in your bloodstream.

• Ezetimibe (10 mg): Belonging to the cholesterol absorption inhibitors category, Ezetimibe functions in the small intestine. It selectively prevents the absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol without affecting the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. This leads to less cholesterol being delivered to the liver, thereby reducing liver cholesterol stores and promoting cholesterol clearance from the blood.
