Dear Rupesh
this level is quite satisfactory.
if you have diabetes, anginal heart disease, renal failure, hypertension, family history of premature CAD, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, carotid artery disease, smoking ? All these are relevant in assessing your target LDL levels. if you have none of these , then probably you may be able to stop rosuvastatin but only after consulting your doctor.
feel free for any other query
sincerely
