• Acetylsalicylic Acid works by stopping the platelets from forming a clot so that the blood can flow easily and without any obstruction.
• Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting or blocking an enzyme that is needed in the body to make cholesterol, reducing the bad cholesterol and increasing the good cholesterol in the blood.

• Swallow it whole with a glass of water.
• Do not cut, open, or chew the capsule.
• It would be best if you took it at a fixed time for optimal results.
• Do not consume more than the dose prescribed by your doctor.
