ROSUTOR A10/75 MG TAB

About

Rosutor A10/75mg Tablet is a combination medication containing Rosuvastatin (10mg) and Aspirin (75mg). This dual therapy is primarily indicated for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients at high risk, particularly those with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a history of myocardial infarction, or stroke. Rosuvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that effectively lowers elevated cholesterol levels by reducing hepatic cholesterol synthesis. Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent that inhibits platelet aggregation by irreversibly blocking cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), thereby preventing the formation of blood clots. The combination of these two agents addresses both lipid management and antiplatelet therapy, providing comprehensive protection against the progression of atherosclerosis and thrombotic events, which are key contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
