If you miss a dose, take it when you remember. Do not double up the doses to compensate for missed doses, skip the missed dose and be regular again.
Cholesterol is found in all of our cells. Cells need it to keep their membranes just the right consistency. LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, is “bad cholesterol”. It carries cholesterol that can stick to arteries, collect in the vessel lining forming plaque, and sometimes block blood flow. HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is “good cholesterol”. It takes cholesterol away from the blood and returns it to the liver.
If you are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, taking Rosave may slightly increase this risk. This is because Rosave has the potential to cause a slight increase in your blood sugar levels. If you already have type 2 diabetes, your doctor may advise you to keep monitoring your blood sugar levels closely for the first few months. Tell your doctor if you find it harder to control your blood sugar.
