What is Rosave Gold 20 mg Capsule used for?

Rosave Gold 20 mg Capsule is a combination medicine primarily used for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, myocardial infarction (blockage of blood to heart muscles), angina (chest pain), and stroke. It is also prescribed to manage high cholesterol and triglyceride levels and to treat peripheral vascular disease.

How does Rosave Gold 20 mg Capsule work?

This medicine is a fixed-dose combination of three active ingredients: Rosuvastatin, Clopidogrel, and Aspirin.

• Rosuvastatin is a statin that works by blocking an enzyme in the liver (HMG-CoA reductase) responsible for cholesterol production, thereby lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL).
• Clopidogrel and Aspirin are antiplatelet agents. They prevent platelets from sticking together and forming harmful blood clots in the blood vessels, thus reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

What is the usual dosage of Rosave Gold 20 mg Capsule?
