Also, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Let your healthcare team know about all other medicines you are taking, as some may interact with UNIstar 150 Capsule and affect its action.

Benefits of UNIstar Capsule
In Prevention of Angina (heart-related chest pain)
UNIstar 150 Capsule helps prevent the formation of blood clots, ensuring that blood flows smoothly through the arteries and that your heart receives an adequate supply of oxygen. Reducing the risk of chest pain caused by angina can improve your ability to exercise and carry out daily activities more comfortably. For best results, take this medicine regularly and for as long as your doctor prescribes.
In Prevention of heart attack and stroke

How UNIstar Capsule works
UNIstar 150 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.
