Rozavel belongs to a group of medicines called statins. It is used to lower cholesterol and to reduce the risk of heart disease. It's essential for you to take this medication as prescribed and also do mild to moderate exercise. You HbA1C levels show that you in pre-diabetic. You need to bring it under 5.7. Well balanced diet plan and exercise along with medication will help.
