ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP by CADILA HEALTHCARE LTD. is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Rosuvastatin (20mg), Clopidogrel (75mg), and Aspirin (75mg). It is primarily used to manage and prevent various cardiovascular conditions.

What is ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP used for?

ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP is used to prevent and treat serious heart conditions such as heart attacks, myocardial infarction (blockage of blood to heart muscles), angina (chest pain), and stroke. It also helps to lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reducing the risk of plaque buildup in arteries. This medicine is also beneficial for patients with stents or those who have undergone angioplasty to prevent recurrence of artery blockage.

How does ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP work?

This medicine combines three active ingredients: Rosuvastatin, Clopidogrel, and Aspirin. Rosuvastatin belongs to a group of drugs called antihyperlipidemics, which work by blocking the body's ability to produce "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and improving its ability to make "good" cholesterol (HDL). Clopidogrel and Aspirin are antiplatelet agents that work by preventing blood platelets from sticking together and forming harmful blood clots. Together, these components reduce cholesterol levels and prevent clot formation, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.

What is the usual dosage for ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP?

ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP is typically taken once a day with water, usually after food, or as prescribed by your doctor. It should be swallowed whole and not crushed, broken, or chewed. Your doctor will determine the correct dose and duration based on your medical condition.

What are the possible side effects of ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP?

Common side effects may include headache, muscle pain or weakness, increased bleeding tendency, stomach pain, indigestion, nosebleeds, weakness, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, and constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and usually resolve over time. However, if bleeding persists or any side effect becomes severe or bothersome, consult your doctor.

Is ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is considered highly unsafe during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, due to potential harmful effects on the developing baby. For breastfeeding women, limited data suggests the drug may pass into breast milk and harm the infant. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, as they will weigh the benefits against the potential risks before prescribing.

Can ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP be taken with other medications?

ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP can interact with several other medications. It is crucial to inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, you are currently taking. Notable interactions include:

• Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin): May increase the risk of bleeding.
• Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen): Can increase the risk of stomach bleeding.
• Certain Anti-lipidemic agents (e.g., clofibrate, gemfibrozil, fenofibrate, ezetimibe): May increase the concentration of rosuvastatin.
• Some antibiotics (e.g., clarithromycin, erythromycin) and antifungal drugs (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): Can increase the concentration of rosuvastatin, leading to an increased risk of side effects like muscle pain.
• ACE Inhibitors (e.g., enalapril, lisinopril): Aspirin in this medicine can reduce their heart-protective effects.

What precautions should be taken while using ROSUBEST GOLD 20 CAP?

Inform your doctor if you have any active liver disease, severe kidney disease, or active bleeding issues (such as peptic ulcer or brain hemorrhage). Patients who consume alcohol or smoke should inform their doctor, as these can increase the risk of serious side effects. Avoid abruptly stopping the medicine, as this can lead to cardiovascular events. You should also inform your doctor if you have diabetes, severe lung disease, musculoskeletal disorders, or are scheduled for any surgery (including dental surgery).
