Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in the production of cholesterol in the liver. This reduces the production of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol, and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, also known as "good" cholesterol. Aspirin inhibits the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that promotes blood clotting. This helps to prevent blood clots from forming and reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
