Product Information

How ROUSTRIN AV 20 Works

Rosuvastatin (20mg) blocks an enzyme in the liver called HMG-CoA reductase, which the liver needs to manufacture cholesterol. With less cholesterol being produced internally, the liver increases its uptake of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream to compensate, lowering LDL and triglyceride levels over several weeks of consistent use, while modestly raising HDL cholesterol for many patients.

Aspirin (75mg) works through a different mechanism entirely. It irreversibly blocks an enzyme called COX-1 within platelets — the small blood cells responsible for clot formation. By blocking this enzyme, aspirin reduces platelets' ability to clump together and form clots, for the entire lifespan of each affected platelet (roughly 7 to 10 days). At this low, 75mg dose, aspirin's antiplatelet effect is achieved with a comparatively lower bleeding risk than the higher doses used for pain relief or fever.

Together, rosuvastatin addresses the buildup of arterial plaque over the long term, while aspirin addresses the more immediate risk of clot formation — two complementary strategies for someone whose cardiovascular risk is high enough to warrant both.

Who Is ROUSTRIN AV 20 Typically Prescribed For?

Only your doctor can confirm whether this specific combination is appropriate for you. Broadly, it's commonly considered for adults in India who:

• Have had a previous heart attack, stroke, or have diagnosed coronary artery disease
• Have undergone a cardiac stent procedure or other coronary intervention
• Have significant, established atherosclerosis (narrowed arteries) confirmed through testing
• Are already taking rosuvastatin and low-dose aspirin as separate medicines and want to simplify to one daily capsule
• Have been individually assessed by their doctor as having a cardiovascular risk profile where the benefit of aspirin's clot-prevention effect outweighs its bleeding risk

This combination is generally not appropriate for someone with high cholesterol alone and no diagnosed cardiovascular disease, since the aspirin component specifically requires this more careful individual risk-benefit assessment.

Possible Side Effects and Precautions

This is a general overview, not a complete list. Because this combination carries the specific bleeding-risk considerations that come with aspirin, alongside the statin-related precautions of rosuvastatin, read the pack insert and discuss your individual risk factors with your doctor.

Commonly reported effects can include:

• Mild stomach upset or heartburn, related to the aspirin component
• Muscle aches, related to the rosuvastatin component
• Headache
• Easy bruising
• Elevations in liver enzymes, monitored through routine blood tests

Tell your doctor before starting if you:

• Are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding — this combination is not recommended during pregnancy
• Have a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding
• Have a bleeding disorder, or are taking other medicines that increase bleeding risk, including anticoagulants (blood thinners) or regular NSAIDs like ibuprofen
• Have asthma, since some people with asthma have increased sensitivity to aspirin
• Have active liver disease or significant kidney impairment
• Are of Asian ancestry, which your doctor factors into rosuvastatin dosing decisions specifically
• Regularly consume significant amounts of alcohol

Buy ROUSTRIN AV 20 — 10x15 Capsule Pack

ROUSTRIN AV 20 (rosuvastatin 20mg + aspirin 75mg) is supplied as 10x15 capsules — 150 capsules total across 10 strips, sized for extended, uninterrupted long-term secondary prevention therapy, which suits how this combination is typically used once prescribed following a cardiac event or diagnosis.

Before you place your order:

• Keep your prescription handy. A clear photo or scan is generally sufficient for verification at checkout, since Schedule H medicines cannot legally be dispensed in India without a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.
• Confirm both strengths match your prescription exactly. Make sure it specifies rosuvastatin 20mg with aspirin 75mg, rather than a different dose pairing.
• Reorder well ahead of time. Because uninterrupted dosing matters significantly with this combination — particularly if you have a cardiac stent — avoid letting your supply run out unexpectedly.
• Buy only from licensed pharmacies that verify prescriptions and issue a proper bill.
