Coltro AS 150 Capsule 15's is composed of Rosuvastatin and Aspirin. Rosuvastatin is an antilipemic agent (cholesterol-lowering) or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. It also lowers the bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL) levels and increases good cholesterol levels (high-density lipoprotein or HDL) in the blood. Rosuvastatin reduces the risk of coronary events, such as heart attack, stroke and angina (chest pain). Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) and anti-platelet drug that decreases blood clot's formation by preventing the platelets from clubbing together. It is also used in heart-related revascularization procedures (provision of new blood supply to a body part), such as coronary artery bypass graft to improve the blood flow through the revascularized area. Coltro AS 150 Capsule 15's helps in the free flow of blood, thereby preventing a heart attack, stroke and other peripheral vascular diseases.
