Prevention of heart attack and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease, post-angioplasty/stent, acute coronary syndrome risk reduction, prevention of blood clots with high cholesterol

Aspirin and clopidogrel reduce platelet aggregation by inhibiting thromboxane A2 formation and blocking P2Y12 receptors, lowering clot formation risk. Rosuvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase to reduce LDL cholesterol and stabilize atherosclerotic plaques.

Take as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time. Swallow capsule whole; do not crush or chew. Can be taken with or without food; take with food if gastric irritation occurs.
