Q. Does Rozon play any role in the management of stroke?
Rozon is seen to be useful in preventing new episodes of ischemic stroke in the brain. Ischemic stroke occurs when there is a blockage of the blood vessel of the brain decreasing blood flow to a particular area of the brain. This blockage occurs due to plaque formation (deposition in the arteries where cholesterol combines with fat, calcium, and fibrin). Rozon decreases the chances of plaque formation by lowering the cholesterol levels in the body and hence low-fat the risk of new episodes of stroke. It is not routinely prescribed for the prevention of hemorrhagic stroke.
Q. Does Rozon play any role in the management of stroke?

Ischemic stroke occurs when there is a blockage of the blood vessel of the brain decreasing blood flow to a particular area of the brain. This blockage occurs due to plaque formation (deposition in the arteries where cholesterol combines with fat, calcium, and fibrin).

Q. Can I take Rozon with Febuxostat?
Rozon can be taken with febuxostat. Rozon is used to lower bad cholesterol and Febuxostat is used to lower uric acid levels in patients with gout. Many patients of high cholesterol levels also have high uric acid levels. There are no human studies available on this interaction. However, animal research shows that when given together, febuxostat can increase the blood levels of Rozon causing a higher risk of its side effects like muscle pain and muscle damage. So, a dose adjustment of Rozon may be needed when given along with febuxostat.
Q. Does Rozon play any role in the management of sepsis-associated Acute (or Adult) respiratory distress syndrome?
