How it works
Rozucor Gold 10 Capsule is a combination of Aspirin, Rosuvastatin, and Clopidogrel. Aspirin acts as a blood thinner and prevents the formation of blood clots in your blood vessels. Rosuvastatin decreases the production of cholesterol from the liver. This reduces the level of bad cholesterol and triglycerides (type of fats) and increases the levels of good cholesterol in your blood. Clopidogrel works by preventing the formation of clots in your blood vessels and helps in the easy flow of blood.
