Rosumac Gold 20 Capsule is taken orally.

Rosumac Gold 20 Capsule contains three active ingredients:

• Aspirin (75 mg): This component works by permanently blocking an enzyme known as COX-1. As a result, it reduces the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that causes blood platelets to stick together, potentially forming clots. By doing so, aspirin helps prevent blood clot formation that could lead to heart attacks or strokes.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): Clopidogrel is a prodrug, meaning it needs to be converted into its active form in the liver. Once activated, it binds to a receptor found on platelets, P2Y12, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation caused by ADP (a compound that induces platelet aggregation). This action provides additional support for preventing blood clots.

• Rosuvastatin (20 mg): Rosuvastatin is part of a group of medicines called statins. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme critical to cholesterol production in the body. With less cholesterol being produced, and an increase in LDL receptors, rosuvastatin effectively lowers LDL-C, or "bad" cholesterol levels, total cholesterol and triglycerides while slightly increasing HDL-C or "good" cholesterol levels. This action helps slow down the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of arteries).

• Store Rosumac Gold 20 Capsule in a cool place where the temperature is between 20°C and 25°C.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.

• Make sure this medication is stored out of the reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiration date on the packaging before use.

• Since Rosumac Gold 20 Capsule is used for managing heart-related conditions, it's beneficial to adopt a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol. This can help manage your cardiovascular health effectively.

• Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking for at least 30 minutes each day, can also support heart health and complement the effects of this medication. Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise programme.
