Unistar 5/75 Capsule is taken orally.

Unistar 5/75 Capsule consists of two active ingredients that work together to help prevent cardiovascular diseases:

• Aspirin (75 mg): This component inhibits the action of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase. This inhibition leads to the suppression of substances called prostaglandins and thromboxanes, which are involved in inflammation and blood clot formation. At the dosage present in Unistar 5/75 Capsule, aspirin mainly acts as an antiplatelet agent, reducing the likelihood of clot formation.

• Rosuvastatin (5 mg): This component is a statin, a type of medicine that inhibits an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is crucial in the production of cholesterol in your body. By inhibiting this enzyme, rosuvastatin reduces the levels of 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) in your blood, while modestly increasing 'good' cholesterol (HDL) levels and reducing triglycerides (another type of fat).

• Keep your Unistar 5/75 Capsule in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.

• Avoid exposure to moisture and air.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Use the capsule before the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• If you've been prescribed Unistar 5/75 Capsule, maintaining a heart-friendly diet can help manage your condition. Opt for foods low in saturated fats and cholesterol, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

• Regular exercise can also be beneficial. Aim for moderate aerobic activity like brisk walking or cycling for at least 150 minutes per week. Always consult your doctor before starting any new physical activity regimen.
