The Rosuvastatin 10 mg + Clopidogrel 75 mg Caps (brand name SWAS RC 10/75) is a prescription combination medication used to prevent heart attacks and strokes. It combines a cholesterol-lowering agent and a blood thinner to improve cardiovascular health. 
Key Information
  • Active Ingredients: Each capsule contains Rosuvastatin 10 mg (a statin) and Clopidogrel 75 mg (an antiplatelet agent/blood thinner).
  • Uses: It is primarily used to prevent serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart-related chest pain (angina). It is often prescribed to individuals with high cholesterol, a history of these events, or those who have undergone procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery.
  • Mechanism of Action:
    • Rosuvastatin lowers “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and can raise “good” cholesterol (HDL) by blocking an enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production.
    • Clopidogrel works by preventing platelets from sticking together and forming harmful blood clots in the arteries, thereby improving blood flow.

  • Stomach pain or indigestion

  • Liver Disease: Use is not recommended for patients with active or severe liver disease.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is highly unsafe during pregnancy and generally not recommended while breastfeeding due to potential harm to the baby.
