Rosutor Gold 20/150 Capsule is a combination of three medicines: Aspirin, Rosuvastatin and Clopidogrel, which prevents heart attack. Aspirin and clopidogrel are antiplatelet medications. They work by preventing the platelets from sticking together and decrease the formation of harmful blood clots.
Aspirin is rapidly absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and results in a measurable inhibition of platelet function within 60 minutes. This antiplatelet effect is associated with prolongation of the bleeding time and inhibition of TXA2-dependent platelet aggregation.The oral bioavailability of rosuvastatin is 20%, which is comparable to atorvastatin, pravastatin and fluvastatin, and qualitatively higher than simvastatin and lovastatin. After a single oral dose the peak plasma concentration is reached at 5 hours.In the liver, approximately 15% of absorbed clopidogrel is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system to generate its active metabolite via a 2-step bioactivation process, whereas the rest 85% is hydrolyzed by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) to an inactive carboxylic acid derivative.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
