How Lipirose-AS Capsule works
Lipirose-AS 10 Capsule combines two medicines that work together to reduce cardiovascular risk. Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering agent that blocks an enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver, thereby lowering LDL and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol. Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent that prevents platelets from clumping together, reducing the formation of harmful blood clots. It targets both high cholesterol and clot formation, and helps maintain healthy blood flow and prevent blockage of blood vessels. This reduces the risk of heart attack, angina, and stroke.
