Brief Answer:
The medicine Rosuvas does not reduce the body weight.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma'am,
Good evening!
I can understand your concern.

The optimal level of LDL cholesterol is up to 100 mg/dL.
Since you have a level of 153 mg/dL which is high.
Elevated levels of LDL cholesterol can indicate risk for heart disease, so it has to be reduced by taking Rosuvas-10. However, Rosuvas is not known to cause a reduction inf body weight.

To reduce the body weight certain life style modifications are suggested:
1. Avoid taking fatty meals
2. Reduce the dietary salt intake
3. Regular exercise like morning or evening walk
4. Increase the intake of fruits and vegetables.

Hope the suggestions given above could be useful.
Do reply if you have any follow up query,
Best regards.
