ROSCAD CV 10 CAPSULE is indicated for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases such as acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction (also known as a heart attack), angina (chest pain due to inadequate blood supply to the heart) and stroke (reduced blood supply to the brain leading to brain death), among patients with elevated cholesterol and/or triglyceride levels along with a suitable diet, exercise and weight management regimen.
