Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule

Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients—Rosuvastatin (20mg) and Aspirin (75mg). It is primarily used to prevent heart-related complications, especially in patients with high cholesterol levels or a history of cardiovascular disease. Rosuvastatin is a statin that helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), while Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent that prevents blood clots. Together, they work to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Rosuhenz-A 20 is usually recommended as a long-term therapy for individuals at high risk of cardiovascular events.

How Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule Works

Aspirin inhibits the action of platelets, reducing their ability to form clots. Together, these actions prevent cholesterol build-up and clot formation in blood vessels, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
