Rosawal As 10/150 Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients that work differently:

• Aspirin (150 mg): This component acts as an antiplatelet agent. It works by blocking an enzyme in your body called cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1). This enzyme produces a substance called thromboxane A2 in blood cells called platelets. By blocking this enzyme, aspirin prevents the formation of harmful blood clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes.

• Rosuvastatin (10 mg): This ingredient belongs to a group of medicines known as statins. It works by blocking an enzyme in your liver that helps produce cholesterol. By doing so, rosuvastatin reduces the cholesterol the liver produces. It also helps your liver absorb more cholesterol from your blood. These actions collectively reduce the risk of heart diseases caused by high cholesterol levels in the blood.

• Include heart-friendly foods in your diet. Opt for lean meats, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. These can help manage cholesterol levels.

• Regular physical activity is key. Try to get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week. Regular exercise helps lower your risk of heart disease by keeping your cholesterol and blood pressure in check. Consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise programme.
