RAZEL A 20 CAPS 10S

About

RAZEL A 20 CAPS is a combination medication typically containing Rosuvastatin and Aspirin. Rosuvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, commonly known as a statin, which works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, thereby lowering levels of 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, and increasing 'good' cholesterol (HDL). Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent that helps prevent the formation of blood clots by inhibiting platelet aggregation.

This combination is prescribed to individuals at high risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, by simultaneously managing lipid levels and preventing thrombotic events. It plays a crucial role in secondary prevention for patients with established cardiovascular disease or primary prevention for those with multiple risk factors.
