HOW COLTRO AS CAPSULE WORKS

Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks an enzyme required in the body to make cholesterol. It lowers the "bad" cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides and raises the "good" cholesterol (HDL). Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-platelet action. It prevents the platelets from sticking together and decreases the formation of harmful blood clots. This way Coltro AS 10mg/75mg Capsule prevents blockade of blood vessels and reduces risk of heart attack, angina, or stroke.
