Pregnancy interaction

• Most of the time, CARDIOROSTIN-10 C Capsules have a mix of rosuvastatin (10 mg) and clopidogrel (75 mg). These drugs are used in combination to lower cholesterol and lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• Pregnancy Safety: ❌ Not safe during pregnancy.
• Rosuvastatin can damage the growth of the fetus by messing with the creation of cholesterol and cell membranes.
• Clopidogrel could make it more likely that you will bleed during pregnancy or delivery.
• Advice: Don't use it while pregnant, and stop using it right away if you become pregnant.
• Not suggested while breastfeeding because both parts may get into breast milk and harm the baby's health.
• Birth control: Women who could get pregnant should use effective birth control while on treatment.

Expert advice

• Take the pill at the same time every day.
• Don't quit suddenly, especially if you've had a heart attack or stroke.
• Eat a diet low in fat and cholesterol, and keep up with your workouts.
• Stay away from grapefruit juice and alcohol, which might make adverse effects worse.
• If you see any strange bruises, bleeding, muscle soreness, or yellowing of the eyes or skin, tell someone right away.
• Tell your doctor before any surgery or dental work that you are taking clopidogrel, which can make you bleed more.
• It's a good idea to get regular liver function testing, lipid profiles, and platelet function checks.

Side effects

• Pain in the head
• Pain or weakening in the muscles (myalgia)
• Discomfort or nausea in the stomach
• Feeling dizzy
• Diarrhea or not being able to go to the bathroom
• Less common yet dangerous adverse effects:
• Bleeding too much or bruising (for example, nosebleeds, blood in stool, or bleeding gums)
• Rhabdomyolysis (a serious breakdown of muscle that causes black urine and tiredness)
• Problems with the liver (yellow skin, black urine, tiredness)
• Allergic responses, include rashes, itching, and swelling
• Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) is not common with clopidogrel.

How It Works

• Rosuvastatin is a statin that lowers LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides, raises HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol), and inhibits the building of plaque in arteries.
• Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication that stops platelets from sticking together, which lowers the risk of dangerous blood clots forming.
• They work together to protect against heart attacks, strokes, and atherosclerosis while also making blood flow better.

Medicine interaction

• Warfarin and other anticoagulants raise the risk of bleeding; keep an eye on INR.
• NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen and aspirin) may make it more likely that you will bleed in your stomach.
• Cyclosporine: Increases levels of rosuvastatin; don't take them together.
• Gemfibrozil and fenofibrate together raise the chance of muscle injury; therefore, don't take them together.
• Antacids with aluminum or magnesium in them: Take 2 hours apart to lower the absorption of rosuvastatin.
• Proton pump inhibitors (like omeprazole) may make clopidogrel less effective.
• Alcohol: Raises the chance of liver damage.

How to Use

• Your doctor has told you to take one capsule every day.
• You can take it with or without food.
• Don't crush or chew; just swallow it whole with a glass of water.
• To keep your blood levels stable, try to take it at the same time every day.
• If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's close to the following dose.
• For the best outcomes, keep making healthy changes to your diet and exercise, and stop smoking.

Uses/indications

• High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia)
• Preventing heart attacks or strokes in people who are at risk for cardiovascular disease
• After a heart attack or after stent therapy to stop clots from forming
• Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
• Mixed dyslipidemia is when LDL and triglycerides are high and HDL is low.
