Product Introduction
Novastat Asp 10mg/75mg Capsule is a combination of Rosuvastatin and Aspirin, used to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and angina (heart-related chest pain). This medication works by reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (fats), while increasing good cholesterol (HDL). Additionally, it helps to prevent the formation of blood clots, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
Novastat Asp should be taken with food to avoid stomach upset. To get the most benefit, take it regularly at the same time each day, following your doctor’s prescription. Do not stop taking it, even if you feel better, as discontinuing the medication too soon may cause your condition to worsen. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a low-fat diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking, will help enhance the effectiveness of this medication.

How Novastat Asp Capsule Works
- Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering agent that blocks an enzyme required for the production of cholesterol in the body. It reduces levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, while increasing HDL (good cholesterol).
- Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-platelet properties. It prevents blood platelets from clumping together, reducing the risk of blood clot formation, which can block blood vessels and lead to heart attacks or strokes.
Together, these medications work to prevent atherosclerosis (narrowing of the blood vessels due to cholesterol build-up) and reduce the chances of heart-related complications like heart attack, angina, and stroke.
Uses of Novastat Asp Capsule
