Name

• Brand Name: Zyrova ASP 75 Capsule
• Common Name: Rosuvastatin and Aspirin Capsules

Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Rosuvastatin (10 mg)
• Aspirin/Acetylsalicylic acid (75 mg)

Uses

Zyrova ASP 75 Capsule is primarily used for the prevention of heart attack, stroke, and angina (heart-related chest pain). It is also prescribed to lower abnormally elevated cholesterol and fat levels (hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemia) in the body. Rosuvastatin reduces "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL), while Aspirin acts as an anti-platelet agent, preventing blood clot formation.

Dosage and Administration

The capsule should be taken orally, preferably with food to avoid stomach upset. It is typically administered regularly at evenly spaced intervals as prescribed by a doctor, ideally at the same time each day. Do not chew, break, or crush the capsule. The dosage and duration depend on the individual's medical condition and should not be discontinued without consulting a doctor.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, abdominal pain, headache, constipation, muscle pain (myalgia), weakness, dizziness, and indigestion. Serious side effects, though less common, can include increased bleeding tendencies, liver dysfunction, rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), and gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients should report persistent or concerning side effects to their doctor.

Precautions

Zyrova ASP 75 Capsule is unsafe for consumption with alcohol, as it may increase the risk of liver damage and stomach bleeding. It is highly unsafe during pregnancy and probably unsafe during breastfeeding; medical advice is essential. Caution is advised for patients with liver or kidney disease, bleeding disorders, or a history of allergies to aspirin or rosuvastatin. Inform your doctor before any surgery (including dental) as it may increase bleeding risk. This medicine is not recommended for children under 16 years.

Storage

Store Zyrova ASP 75 Capsule in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat. Keep it out of sight and reach of children and pets.
