About Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule

Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule is used for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. A heart attack generally refers to a blocked flow of blood to the heart due to the blockage of the arteries. The blockage is most often a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).

Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule is composed of rosuvastatin and aspirin. This medicine reduces the bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoproteins or LDL), and triglycerides (TG). It also collectively prevents the formation of clots in the blood vessels. Together, Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule helps to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-related chest pain (angina).

In some cases, you may experience headache, ankle swelling (oedema), dark urine, muscle weakness, slow heart rate, dizziness, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Take Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule with or without food. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your medicine based on your medical condition. Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own. Do not chew, break, or crush the medicine.

Avoid taking Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule if you are allergic to it. Stopping Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule abruptly may worsen your condition and increase your risk of future heart attack. Let your doctor know if you have any active liver disease, bleeding issues, muscle problems, are pregnant or planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding. Patients should inform the doctor that they are taking Rosuhenz-A 20 Capsule before any surgery is scheduled or any new medicine is taken.
