Drug ClassStatin (HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor) + Salicylate antiplatelet (COX inhibitor)
ScheduleH
PrescriptionRequired (Rx)
Overview
Drug | Capsule
Uses & Benefits
Prevention of cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in patients at high risk; management of dyslipidaemia (high LDL cholesterol/triglycerides) with need for antiplatelet therapy; secondary prevention in coronary artery disease/after angioplasty or stenting as prescribed
How It Works
Rosuvastatin is an HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor that reduces cholesterol synthesis in the liver, lowering LDL and triglycerides and modestly raising HDL. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet COX‑1, reducing thromboxane A2 formation and thereby decreasing platelet aggregation and clot formation.
Directions for Use
Take orally once daily as prescribed, preferably at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the capsule whole (do not crush/chew, especially if enteric-coated aspirin component). Do not stop on your own; continue long-term unless advised by your doctor.
Risk of bleeding (especially with ulcers, recent surgery, bleeding disorders); seek urgent care for black stools, vomiting blood, unusual bleeding/bruising. Rosuvastatin may cause muscle injury (myopathy/rhabdomyolysis); report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, dark urine. Monitor liver function; use caution in liver disease and heavy alcohol use. Not recommended in active liver disease; dose adjustments/close monitoring in severe kidney impairment. Avoid in aspirin allergy, asthma with aspirin sensitivity, and in children/teens with viral illness (Reye’s syndrome risk). Inform doctor before procedures/dental work; do not combine with other NSAIDs/antiplatelets unless advised.
