Uses
Acmerose-Gold is prescribed for the following conditions:
- Prevention of blood clots: Aspirin and Clopidogrel work together to help reduce the risk of blood clots that can lead to heart attacks or strokes.
- Cholesterol management: Rosuvastatin is a statin that helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Acmerose-Gold works by combining the actions of its active ingredients:
- Aspirin helps prevent blood platelets from sticking together, reducing the formation of blood clots.
- Rosuvastatin inhibits an enzyme in the liver, reducing the production of cholesterol and increasing the liver’s ability to remove LDL cholesterol from the blood.
- Clopidogrel inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, further preventing the formation of blood clots.
