Low HDL and high LDL are risk factors for heart attack. Hence it is better to continue Rozavel F for life long. Rozavel F not only increases HDL and lowers LDL, it also reduces the incidence of heart attack even in people with normal cholesterol level. Though Rozavel F is a safe drug, sometimes it can give rise to severe muscle damage and rarely can produce death. However if you are having other risk factors for heart diseases such as diabetes, hypertension,smoking and cholesterol tends to run in families,considering the benefit and risk ratio, you have to continue Rozavel F,even if you are walking daily for one hour.
