Rosuvastatin: A statin medication that lowers cholesterol levels in the blood by blocking the enzyme that produces cholesterol in the liver.

Clopidogrel: An antiplatelet medication that prevents blood clots from forming by inhibiting the action of platelets, which are tiny cells in the blood that help blood to clot.

Rosuvastatin + Clopidogrel is typically prescribed for patients with:

High cholesterol levels (hyperlipidemia) and a history of heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular events.

Stable coronary artery disease (CAD) to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Patients with certain medical conditions, like diabetes or high blood pressure, who may have an increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Rosuvastatin and clopidogrel work together to lower cholesterol levels and prevent blood clots. Rosuvastatin blocks the production of cholesterol in the liver, while clopidogrel prevents platelets from sticking together and forming clots.
