Background
In today’s fast-paced world, where lifestyle diseases are on the rise, it has become essential to manage and control our health effectively. One such health concern is cardiovascular disease, which includes high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Rosuvastatin and fenofibrate are two commonly prescribed drugs that help in managing these conditions.
Rosuvastatin is a statin drug that works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver. It is highly effective in lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Fenofibrate is a fibrate drug that helps in reducing triglyceride levels and increasing HDL cholesterol levels. It also helps in reducing LDL cholesterol levels to a certain extent.
Simultaneous estimation of rosuvastatin and fenofibrate by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) is a reliable method for analyzing the concentration of these drugs in biological samples such as blood or urine. This method provides accurate results and is widely used in clinical laboratories for therapeutic drug monitoring.
The objective of this study is to develop a robust HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of rosuvastatin and fenofibrate, which can be used for routine analysis in healthcare settings. This method will help healthcare professionals in accurately monitoring the levels of these drugs in patients and adjusting their dosage accordingly, thus optimizing the therapeutic outcomes.
Through this study, we aim to contribute to the advancement of healthcare by providing a reliable and efficient method for simultaneous estimation of rosuvastatin and fenofibrate. We believe that this method will greatly benefit patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases and their healthcare providers in managing their condition effectively.
