INTRODUCTION
ROSUCIAOLD 10 CAPSULE is a combination of Aspirin, Clopidogrel and Rosuvastatin which belongs to theroup of medicines called Antiplatelets and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors respectively. ROSUCIAOLD 10 CAPSULE is indicated for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction (heart attack), angina (chest pain) or stroke (reduced blood supply to brain leading to brain death) that were caused due to clot or plaque formation in the blood vessels supplying the heart.
Acute coronary syndrome is a heart condition caused by plaque rupture or clot formation in the coronary arteries. Symptoms include heart attack, chest pressure or pain while at rest, shortness of breath and sweating.
Along treatment with ROSUCIAOLD 10 CAPSULE follow a healthy low-fat diet as advised by doctor to achieve better results.
Avoid drinking alcohol during the therapy, as it could increase the risk of bleeding in theastrointestinal tract. ROSUCIAOLD 10 CAPSULE is not recommended for use in patients having severe liver, kidney or heart disease. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
ROSUCIAOLD 10 CAPSULE isenerally not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women and in children (below 18 years). Consult your doctor for an alternative therapy.

HOW ROSUCIAOLD 10 CAPSULE WORKS
ROSUCIAOLD 10 CAPSULE effectively improves cardiac function and reduces the risk of heart problems, where clopidogrel acts by inhibiting platelet aggregation in the coronary arteries, aspirin acts by blocking the actions of an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase 1 which is believed to be responsible for catalyzing the synthesis of platelets and rosuvastatin acts by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is required to catalyze the formation of cholesterol, thus preventing clot or plaque formation in the coronary arteries leading to an uninterrupted supply of oxygen and blood to the heart.
