Novastat Cv 20 Capsule 10

Novastat CV 20 Capsule is used for:

• Reducing the likelihood of heart attacks, strokes and vascular death in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

• Decreasing blood levels of total cholesterol, LDL "bad" cholesterol, triglycerides, and ApoB (a protein that helps carry fat and cholesterol throughout the body) while increasing HDL "good" cholesterol in those with primary hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia.

• Slowing the progression of atherosclerosis in patients with elevated CRP levels (an indicator of inflammation in the body) and a history or high risk of heart disease.

Here's how you should take Novastat CV 20 Capsule:

• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew it.

• Try to take your capsule at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness.

• Continue taking this medicine even if your cholesterol levels improve unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

Novastat CV 20 Capsule is taken orally.

Novastat CV 20 Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Rosuvastatin (20 mg): Classified as a statin, rosuvastatin functions by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your liver that is instrumental in cholesterol production. By inhibiting this enzyme, rosuvastatin effectively reduces the liver's ability to produce cholesterol, particularly LDL "bad" cholesterol. It also raises HDL "good" cholesterol levels and lowers triglycerides to some extent.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): As an antiplatelet medicine, clopidogrel works by inhibiting a specific receptor called P2Y12 on platelets. This action prevents the platelets from activating and sticking together, thereby reducing the formation of blood clots and maintaining blood flow through arteries.

  Both clopidogrel and rosuvastatin work together to stabilise atherosclerotic plaques and prevent blockages in the arteries, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

• Store your Novastat CV 20 Capsule at a cool room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the capsules away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• To support the cholesterol-lowering effect of Novastat CV 20 Capsule, include more fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet. These help in reducing the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) naturally.

• Regular cardio exercise for at least 30 minutes a day can help manage cardiovascular disease and boost the effectiveness of this capsule. As always, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
