Product Description

Rosuvastatin 10mg & Aspirin 75mg Capsules IP is a combination of a blood-thinning agent and a cholesterol-lowering agent, primarily used to prevent myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, or peripheral vascular disease. It is also prescribed to reduce unusually high cholesterol or fat levels in the body (hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemia). 

Uses

• Prevention of myocardial infarction (heart attack)

• Prevention of stroke

• Management of peripheral vascular disease

• Treatment of hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemia

How it works

Rosuvastatin lowers cholesterol by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, which reduces the production of LDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholesterol. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) in platelets, reducing thromboxane A2 formation and preventing platelets from aggregating. This dual action helps prevent blood clots and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.

Benefits

• Lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and raises good cholesterol (HDL)

• Reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and angina

• Prevents blood clot formation, improving blood flow

• Supports cardiovascular health, especially in patients at high risk

How to use

• Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, break, or chew.

• Take aspirin with food to reduce stomach irritation.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Nausea

• Abdominal pain or discomfort

• Headache

• Constipation

• Muscle pain, weakness, or cramps (report immediately if severe or persistent)

• Dizziness

• Indigestion

• Increased risk of bleeding (e.g., easy bruising, nosebleeds)

Note: Serious muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis) is rare but requires urgent medical attention.

Safety Advice

• Avoid alcohol, as it may increase the risk of stomach bleeding and worsen side effects such as dizziness.

• Do not use rosuvastatin during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by your doctor. Aspirin should also be used cautiously during pregnancy.

• Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, bleeding disorders, asthma, peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal problems, diabetes, or a history of muscle disorders.

• Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as this may increase your risk of heart attack or stroke.

• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

• Notify your doctor before any surgery or dental procedure, as aspirin may increase bleeding risk.
