What is Rosycap Asp?
Rosycap Asp is a combined treatment for high cholesterol. It contains two active ingredients: acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and rosuvastatin. It’s commonly prescribed when taking one of the active ingredients alone hasn’t been effective at lowering cholesterol or if there’s a higher risk of you developing complications with cholesterol reduction treatment.
Rosycap Asp is most effective when partnered with a healthy diet and active lifestyle. It lowers cholesterol levels. High levels of bad cholesterol can put you at a higher risk of a heart attack. Your doctor will let you know for how long you need to take Rosycap ASP. It’s important to make sure you finish the entire course of treatment prescribed by your doctor.
Whilst taking Rosycap ASP your doctor will monitor your cholesterol levels as this will help to inform ongoing treatment and also tells your doctor how well your treatment is working.
Rosycap ASP is a branded treatment and is also available as Rosur Asp, Jubira Plus, Arvast A, Zyrova Asp and Rosuless-A. These medications work in a similar way but the pills and packaging may look different.
How does Rosycap Asp work?
Rosycap ASP contains two powerful active ingredients that help to reduce cholesterol.
Acetylsalicylic acid, better known as aspirin, helps to prevent heart attack by preventing clots from forming in your body and blocking your blood’s pathway in and out of your heart. It’s seen as a preventative treatment and is prescribed when you have high cholesterol because the fatty deposits first build up in your blood vessels and prevent the smooth flow of blood and then break down and cause a clot.
Rosuvastatin is a medicine called a statin. It decreases the amount of ‘bad’ cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood whilst also increases levels of ‘good’ cholesterol. Good cholesterol is important because it helps to carry cholesterol to the liver where it’s processed by the body. Bad cholesterol must be prevented and removed because it takes cholesterol directly to the arteries where it can build up, clot and cause heart attacks.
What doses of Rosycap Asp are there?
Rosycap ASP is available in two dosage sizes, with each one containing different amounts of the active ingredients:
Rosycap Asp (75/10): Acetylsalicylic acid 75mg and rosuvastatin 10mg Rosycap Asp (150/20): Acetylsalicylic acid 150mg and rosuvastatin 20mg
Your doctor will tell you which dose is best for you. The dose you’re prescribed will depend on your cholesterol levels, other medications you’re taking and your medical history. Your doctor may start you on a lower dose and then increase it once the treatment has started and they can see how effective the treatment is.
If Rosycap Asp doesn’t work in the way you need it to, your doctor will be able to suggest some alternative treatments for you to try.

How is Rosycap Asp different to other high cholesterol treatments?
Answer:
Rosycap Asp is a combination treatment which helps control high cholesterol levels and also reduces the risk of blood clots and stroke. It is often used when someone hasn’t been able to get their cholesterol under control with the use of a single medication.
The combination of active ingredients — Acetylsalicylic acid and Rosuvastatinin — in Rosycap Asp means that it both lowers ‘bad’ cholesterol and encourages the production of ‘good’ cholesterol. As well as reducing cholesterol levels, Rosycap Asp is also effective at lowering the risk of blood clots and stroke.

Answer:
There are some medications available that are similar to Rosycap Asp, and these include Rosur Asp, Jubira Plus, Arvast A, Zyrova Asp and Rosuless-A. These are all branded versions of the same treatment and although the pills and packaging may differ in appearance, they all work in a similar way.
Which dose of Rosycap Asp should I use?
Answer:
Following a discussion about your medical history, lifestyle and general health your doctor will advise you about which is the best dose for you to start with.

Do I need a prescription for Rosycap Asp?
