Rosumac Asp Capsule 10

Rosumac ASP Capsule is used for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (heart attack, stroke, and vascular death) in patients with prior history of such events or unstable chest pain. This medication is a combination of Rosuvastatin (for lowering high cholesterol) and Aspirin (for preventing blood clots). It is also used to manage high cholesterol levels and helps reduce the risk of stomach ulcers compared to aspirin alone in at-risk patients.

Here's how you should take Rosumac ASP Capsule:

• Swallow one capsule whole with a sufficient amount of water.

• Do not break, crush, or chew the capsule.

• Take this medicine about half an hour before your evening meal for best results.

• Always use the lowest effective dose as per your doctor's advice.

Remember, it's always wise to consult your doctor for personalised instructions.

Rosumac ASP Capsule is taken orally.

Rosumac ASP Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (75 mg): This component works by irreversibly inhibiting an enzyme called cyclooxygenase1 (COX 1) in your body. This blocks the production of thromboxane A2, which is involved in blood clotting or platelet aggregation, providing antiplatelet activity. Additionally, it inhibits prostaglandin synthesis that helps manage pain, inflammation and fever.

• Rosuvastatin (10 mg): This element competitively blocks HMG CoA reductase, an enzyme that plays a pivotal role in cholesterol production inside your body. It also increases the LDL receptors on liver cells' surface enhancing LDL uptake and breakdown. This results in a reduction of total cholesterol, LDL C (bad cholesterol), ApoB (a protein linked to bad cholesterol), non HDL C and triglycerides, while increasing HDL C (good cholesterol).

• Store the Rosumac ASP Capsule in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature.

• Protect it from exposure to direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to take note of the expiry date on the product packaging and use it before this date.

• If you're using Rosumac ASP Capsule for managing high cholesterol levels, consider adopting a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your meals.

• Regular physical activity can also help manage cardiovascular risks. Try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of moderateintensity exercise into your daily routine, such as brisk walking or cycling.
