Rozucor ASP 20mg/75mg Capsule

About

Rozucor ASP 20mg/75mg Capsule is a combination medication used for the prevention of cardiovascular events, particularly in patients at high risk. It contains Rosuvastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin), and Aspirin, an antiplatelet agent. Rosuvastatin works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, thereby lowering levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides, and increasing HDL ("good") cholesterol. This action helps to stabilize atherosclerotic plaques and reduce the risk of plaque rupture. Aspirin, at a low dose, inhibits platelet aggregation, preventing the formation of blood clots that can lead to heart attacks or strokes.

This combination therapy is typically prescribed for individuals who have already experienced a cardiovascular event (secondary prevention) or those with multiple risk factors for heart disease (primary prevention), such as high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, or a family history of early heart disease. The synergistic effect of lipid-lowering and antiplatelet actions provides comprehensive protection against major adverse cardiovascular events. Regular monitoring of lipid profiles and liver function is essential during treatment.
