About Rosufit CV 20 Capsule

Rosufit CV 20 Capsule is a combination of two types of medicines: a statin and an antiplatelet. It is used to help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and chest pain (angina) in people who are at high risk of heart problems. A heart attack happens when the coronary arteries, blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart, become blocked by fatty deposits (plaques), including cholesterol. These plaques narrow the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, which are the leading causes of most heart attacks.

Rosufit CV 20 Capsule contains two active ingredients that work together to protect your heart. Rosuvastatin lowers cholesterol production in the liver. It reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (TG) while increasing good cholesterol (HDL). Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medicine (blood thinner) that prevents blood cells (platelets) from clumping together and forming clots. Together, these medicines improve blood flow and reduce the risk of blocked arteries, helping prevent serious heart and brain complications.

Take Rosufit CV 20 Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once a day with or without food. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medicine without consulting a doctor. Common side effects may include headache, nausea, dizziness, swollen ankles (oedema), and in rare cases, slow heart rate. Most side effects are mild and go away on their own, but contact your doctor if they persist or worsen. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses at the same time.

Do not stop taking Rosufit CV 20 Capsule without consulting your doctor, as stopping it suddenly may increase your risk of heart attack or stroke. Please inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have before starting Rosufit CV 20 Capsule . Always inform your doctor that you are taking Rosufit CV 20 Capsule before any surgery or if a new medicine is prescribed. Rosufit CV 20 Capsule should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as it may harm the baby. It is also not recommended for use in children below 10 years.

Uses of Rosufit CV 20 Capsule

Rosufit CV 20 Capsule is used to reduce the risk of serious heart and blood vessel problems in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease. It is commonly prescribed for:

  • Prevention of heart attacks: It helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and reduces the formation of blood clots that could block the coronary arteries.
  • Prevention of strokes: It improves blood flow to the brain and decreases the risk of clot-related (thrombotic) events.
  • Management of chest pain (angina): It enhances the blood supply to the heart muscles, relieving chest pain and discomfort caused by reduced blood flow.
  • Slowing the progression of atherosclerosis: It reduces the buildup of cholesterol and plaque in blood vessels, helping to maintain healthy arteries.
  • Secondary prevention of cardiovascular events: It is used in people who have already had a heart attack, stroke, or undergone heart procedures such as angioplasty or bypass surgery to help prevent future events.

Directions for Use

  • Take Rosufit CV 20 Capsule with or without food as advised by your doctor.
  • It is recommended to follow your doctor’s recommendations regarding the dosage and duration.
  • Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water.
  • Do not crush, chew or break it.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Rosufit CV 20 Capsule effectively reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes by lowering bad cholesterol and preventing blood clots.
  • Slows the progression of atherosclerosis, helping keep arteries open and reducing cardiovascular strain.
  • Provides dual protection. Rosuvastatin stabilises cholesterol plaques, while Clopidogrel prevents clot formation on them.
  • Improves long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease or those who’ve had angioplasty or bypass surgery.
  • Lowers the chance of future cardiovascular events in high-risk individuals or those with a history of heart attack or stroke.

How Rosufit CV 20 Capsule Works

Rosufit CV 20 Capsule is a combination of two medications, Rosuvastatin and Clopidogrel, used to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events. Rosuvastatin is a statin that lowers cholesterol by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, thereby reducing levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good cholesterol). Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent that prevents blood platelets from clumping together, helping to reduce the risk of harmful blood clots. Together, they work to manage high cholesterol and prevent clot-related complications, offering comprehensive protection against serious heart and blood vessel conditions.

Storage

• Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight. • Keep out of sight and reach of children. • Non cold chain - To be stored in cool places at 10ºC to 25ºC or below 30ºC.

What if I have taken an overdose of Rosufit CV 20 Capsule

Drug Warnings

  • Do not take Rosufit CV 20 Capsule if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.
  • Do not use Rosufit CV 20 Capsule if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as Rosuvastatin may harm the unborn baby and is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy.
  • Avoid Rosufit CV 20 Capsule if you have active liver disease or any active bleeding conditions, such as stomach ulcers or brain haemorrhage, unless specifically advised by your doctor.
  • Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, especially antibiotics (like clarithromycin), antifungals (like itraconazole), HIV medicines, or blood thinners like warfarin, due to the risk of serious interactions.
  • Tell your doctor you are taking Rosufit CV 20 Capsule before any surgery or if a new medicine is being prescribed, to avoid potential complications or interactions.
  • Do not stop taking Rosufit CV 20 Capsule suddenly without medical advice, as this may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or other serious cardiovascular events.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Follow a Mediterranean or DASH diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and healthy fats, such as olive oil, which has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
  • Limit your intake of saturated fats and eliminate trans fats to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce your risk of atherosclerosis.
  • Reduce sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day to help control blood pressure and lower the risk of stroke and heart disease.
  • Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, to improve heart health and cholesterol levels.
  • Quit smoking and avoid secondhand smoke exposure, as tobacco significantly increases the risk of clot formation and arterial damage.
  • Limit alcohol consumption to no more than one standard drink per day for women and two for men, as excessive alcohol raises blood pressure and cardiovascular risk.
  • Maintain a healthy weight (BMI 18.5–24.9); even modest weight loss improves cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar control.
  • Manage blood sugar effectively, especially in patients with diabetes, to prevent accelerated vascular damage and cardiovascular complications.

Rosufit CV 20 Capsule is composed of two medicines, namely: Rosuvastatin and Clopidogrel. Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that inhibits the enzyme responsible for producing cholesterol in the body. As a result, it lowers the bad cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins or LDL) and triglycerides (TG), and increases the levels of good cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Clopidogrel is a blood thinner (anticoagulant) that collectively prevents the formation of clots in the blood vessels. Together, Rosufit CV 20 Capsule reduces the increased levels of bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides) and prevents blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-related chest pain (angina).

Yes, Rosufit CV 20 Capsule contains clopidogrel that prevents blood clotting. It works by preventing platelets (a type of blood cell) from sticking together and forming clots, thereby preventing heart attacks and strokes.
