CompositionROSUPACK CV CAPSULE 10 is a medicine used to lower the risk of heart attacks, angina, and strokes in people with high cholesterol and narrowed or hardened arteries (atherosclerosis). It is particularly used in people who have had recent heart procedures such as stenting or angioplasty.
It contains rosuvastatin and clopidogrel, which belong to groups of medicines called statins and antiplatelets. Rosuvastatin lowers harmful LDL cholesterol, while clopidogrel reduces the tendency of the blood to clot, helping keep blood flowing. Swallow the capsule and take it as directed by your doctor, continuing even if you feel well.
A heart-healthy lifestyle is an important part of treatment. This includes eating a balanced diet low in saturated fat, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any liver problems, bleeding problems, stomach ulcers, unexplained muscle pain, or other medicines you take. Because it makes bleeding more likely, report any unusual bleeding, and tell your doctor promptly about persistent muscle pain or weakness. Avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice, which can affect the cholesterol-lowering part of this medicine.
