About Rosufy-CV 20 Capsule 10's

Rosufy-CV 20 Capsule 10's is used to prevent heart attack and stroke in the future. It lowers the raised level of cholesterol and fats (triglycerides) in our body. A heart attack is a condition in which your coronary arteries (blood vessels supplying blood and oxygen to the heart) become blocked due to the build-up of fats (plaque), including cholesterol. These plaques narrow the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, mainly for most heart attacks.

Rosufy-CV 20 Capsule 10's is composed of two medicines, Rosuvastatin and Clopidogrel. Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make cholesterol in the body. As a result, it lowers the bad cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins or LDL), triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Clopidogrel is a blood thinner (anticoagulant) that collectively prevents a clot in the blood vessels. Together, Rosufy-CV 20 Capsule 10's reduces the increased levels of bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides) and prevents blood clots, thereby reducing and preventing the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart-related chest pain (angina).

Take Rosufy-CV 20 Capsule 10's exactly as directed by your doctor. The dose and duration of Rosufy-CV 20 Capsule 10's may differ depending on the reason why you're taking it and your responses to treatment. In some cases, you may experience headaches, ankle swelling due to fluid retention (oedema), slow heart rate, and nausea.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to rosuvastatin or clopidogrel or have any active liver disease (liver enzyme abnormalities), active bleeding issues (like peptic ulcer, brain haemorrhage), or muscle problem (myopathy, rhabdomyolysis).
