About Vitastat AS 75 Capsule

ROSUVASTATIN+ASPIRIN is a combination of blood-thinning agent and cholesterol-lowering agent, primarily used to prevent myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke or peripheral vascular disease. It is also used to lower abnormally elevated cholesterol or fat levels (hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemia) in the body. A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks the blood flow to the heart. This blockage of arteries is often an accumulation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). 

ROSUVASTATIN+ASPIRIN is composed of two medicines, namely: Rosuvastatin and Aspirin. Rosuvastatin belongs to the class of drugs known as Antilipemic agent (cholesterol-lowering) or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. Rosuvastatin lowers the bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL) levels and increases good cholesterol levels (high-density lipoprotein or HDL) in the blood. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-platelet action. It decreases the formation of blood clots by preventing the platelets from clubbing together. Aspirin acts as a blood-thinning or anti-platelet agent in a low dose (about 75 mg) to prevent heart attack and stroke. ROSUVASTATIN+ASPIRIN helps in the free flow of blood, thereby preventing a heart attack, stroke and other peripheral vascular diseases.

Medicinal Benefits of Vitastat AS 75 Capsule

ROSUVASTATIN+ASPIRIN is used to prevent myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke or peripheral vascular disease. It also lowers abnormally elevated cholesterol or fat levels (dyslipidemia) in the body. ROSUVASTATIN+ASPIRIN is composed of Rosuvastatin and Aspirin. Rosuvastatin is an antilipemic agent (cholesterol-lowering) or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. It also lowers the bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL) levels and increases good cholesterol levels (high-density lipoprotein or HDL) in the blood. Rosuvastatin reduces the risk of coronary events, such as heart attack, stroke and angina (chest pain). Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) and anti-platelet drug that decreases blood clot's formation by preventing the platelets from clubbing together. It is also used in heart-related revascularization procedures (provision of new blood supply to a body part), such as coronary artery bypass graft to improve the blood flow through the revascularized area. ROSUVASTATIN+ASPIRIN helps in the free flow of blood, thereby preventing a heart attack, stroke and other peripheral vascular diseases.
