Zyrova Gold 10 Mg Capsule (10 Cap)

ZYROVA GOLD 10 MG CAPSULE

Zyrova Gold 10 mg Capsule is a combination medicine manufactured by Zydus Healthcare Limited, designed for comprehensive cardiovascular health management.

Composition Each capsule contains a fixed-dose combination of three active ingredients:

• Aspirin (75 mg)
• Clopidogrel (75 mg)
• Rosuvastatin (10 mg)

Rosuvastatin, a statin, works by lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL) levels. Aspirin and Clopidogrel are antiplatelet agents that prevent blood platelets from sticking together, thereby reducing the formation of harmful blood clots.

Uses Zyrova Gold 10 mg Capsule is primarily prescribed for:

• Prevention of heart attack and stroke.
• Treatment and management of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and angina (chest pain).
• Treatment of peripheral vascular disease.

Dosage and Administration Typically, one capsule is taken orally once daily, preferably with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. The capsule should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed, chewed, or broken. It is crucial not to abruptly stop taking this medicine without consulting a doctor, as this may increase the risk of cardiovascular events.

Side Effects Common side effects may include:

• Increased bleeding tendency (e.g., nosebleeds, bruising).
• Headache, dizziness, weakness.
• Muscle pain or cramps.
• Gastrointestinal issues like stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation. Serious, though rare, side effects can include severe allergic reactions, symptoms of pancreatitis, jaundice, or hemorrhagic vasculitis.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor about any allergies to the ingredients or pre-existing medical conditions such as liver disease (severe liver disease is a contraindication), kidney problems, bleeding disorders, myopathy, hypothyroidism, or asthma.
• Avoid alcohol consumption during treatment, as it can increase the risk of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract and liver damage.
• This medicine is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult a doctor for advice.
• Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery if dizziness or visual disturbances occur.
• Patients should inform their doctor they are taking Zyrova Gold 10 mg Capsule before any surgical or dental procedures due to an increased risk of bleeding.
• Adherence to a healthy low-fat diet and regular exercise is recommended to maximize the medication's effectiveness. Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels and liver function is also advised.
