The Rosuvas CV 20mg Tablet is a combination medicine containing Rosuvastatin 20mg+Clopidogrel 75mg. It is primarily used to help lower high levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in your body. This medication also helps reduce the risk of serious heart-related complications like heart attack, angina (chest pain), and stroke by limiting the formation of harmful blood clots within your blood vessels, which are often associated with conditions like atherosclerosis.
You should take Rosuvas CV 20mg Tablet with or without food, exactly as directed by your doctor. For the best results, try to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in your system.

While undergoing treatment with this medicine, it is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption, as it may increase the risk of liver-related side effects.
Rosuvas CV 20mg Tablet may increase your tendency to bleed. Minor injuries like small cuts or nicks from shaving might take a little longer to stop bleeding, which is usually not a concern.
