UNISTAR 20/150 Capsule is a prescription combination medicine containing Rosuvastatin (20 mg) and Aspirin (150 mg) used primarily to prevent heart attack, stroke, and angina. It works by lowering “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides while also preventing the formation of blood clots.
Key Details
- Active Ingredients: The capsule contains Rosuvastatin (20 mg) and Aspirin (150 mg).
- Mechanism of Action: Rosuvastatin is a statin that lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides, and increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels. Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent (blood thinner) that prevents platelets from clumping together to form blood clots.
- Usage: It is prescribed to individuals at risk of cardiovascular events, including those with a history of heart attack, stroke, unstable angina, or peripheral arterial disease. It helps to slow down the progression of atherosclerosis (narrowing of blood vessels).
- Administration: It should be taken with food to avoid stomach irritation, at the same time every day for consistency, and for as long as prescribed by a doctor.
- Lifestyle: The treatment should be complemented with healthy lifestyle habits such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking.
