Aspisuv 20 Capsule

Aspisuv 20 Capsule is a prescription medicine that combines two active ingredients—Rosuvastatin (20mg) and Aspirin (75mg). It is primarily used to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular conditions in patients at high risk. Rosuvastatin is a statin that lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and raises good cholesterol (HDL), while Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent that prevents blood clots. Together, they help maintain better heart health and improve blood flow. This combination is commonly prescribed for long-term management of heart disease and related complications.
