Rosomni-A 75/10: Notes for Doctors and Pharmacists
Rosomni-A 75/10: Aspirin Gastro-resistant and Rosuvastatin Capsules IP
Dispensing, counselling and stock notes on Rosomni-A 75/10 for prescribers, retail and hospital pharmacists and distributors, including how to reach EMK Omni Pharma.
Product Summary for the Dispensing Counter
Rosomni-A 75/10 is Aspirin Gastro-resistant and Rosuvastatin Capsules IP, marketed by EMK Omni Pharma, Mysuru, Karnataka, and produced at GMP-certified contract manufacturing units.
Each hard gelatin capsule contains Aspirin IP 75 mg as gastro-resistant pellets and Rosuvastatin Calcium IP equivalent to Rosuvastatin 10 mg as pellets, with approved excipients. The pack is 10 x 10 capsules. It is a fixed-dose antiplatelet and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor combination in the cardiac care range.
The label carries the Schedule H caution, the instruction that dosage is as directed by the physician and that the medicine is kept out of reach of children, and the warning against use in the last three months of pregnancy unless a doctor directs it, since aspirin near delivery may cause bleeding problems in mother and baby.
Schedule H Handling and Record Keeping
Treat this as a routine Schedule H dispensing, with the usual discipline:
- verify that the prescription is from a registered medical practitioner and is legible, dated and signed
- confirm the product name and strength, since the cardiac range includes similar names with different composition
- retain the record and enter the sale in the prescription register
- do not substitute a different combination or strength without contacting the prescriber
- decline repeat supply without a valid prescription, and explain why rather than simply refusing
- issue a bill, and keep batch number and expiry traceable to the sale
Where a prescription looks ambiguous, particularly around the statin strength or the presence of a second antiplatelet, call the prescriber. Confusion between the two-ingredient and three-ingredient capsules is the most likely error in this range.
Patient Counselling Checklist
A short structured conversation at the counter prevents most problems.
- Administration. Swallow whole with water. Do not chew, crush or open the capsule, since the gastro-resistant coating is designed to stay intact past the stomach.
- Timing. Same time daily. Rosuvastatin is long-acting, so bedtime dosing is not obligatory.
- Missed dose. Take when remembered unless the next dose is near; never double.
- Antacids. Aluminium and magnesium antacids should be separated from the dose by about two hours.
- Analgesics. Warn against routine NSAID use and direct pain queries back to the prescriber.
- Red flags. Melaena, haematemesis, bleeding that will not stop, unexplained bruising, severe or spreading myalgia with weakness or dark urine, jaundice, or hypersensitivity. Advise same-day attention.
- Adherence. Explain that lipid control and antiplatelet cover are silent, and that feeling well is not a reason to stop.
- Refills. Encourage planning refills before travel or festival periods.
Clinical and Monitoring Points to Reinforce
Points worth reinforcing when a prescriber or patient asks:
- baseline and follow-up lipid profile, with liver function tests around initiation and thereafter as clinically indicated
- creatine kinase where myopathy is suspected, considering hypothyroidism, vitamin D status, alcohol and interacting drugs as contributors
- renal function review, since significant impairment affects rosuvastatin dose selection
- glycaemic monitoring, as statins may modestly raise glucose in susceptible individuals
- INR monitoring where warfarin is co-prescribed, since rosuvastatin can potentiate its effect
- caution with fibrates, particularly gemfibrozil, and with colchicine, ciclosporin and certain antiretroviral and hepatitis C agents
- higher rosuvastatin exposure reported in patients of Asian ancestry, relevant to strength selection
- contraindication in pregnancy and breastfeeding, with contraception advice where relevant
- review before elective surgery, endoscopy or dental extraction, with any decision to interrupt aspirin left to the treating physician
Pharmacy Storage, Stock Rotation and Supply
Store Rosomni-A 75/10 protected from light and moisture at a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. In practice that means cartons out of direct sunlight, away from shop-front windows and heat-radiating equipment, with reasonable ventilation or cooling through summer.
Monsoon humidity is the main threat in much of India. Keep cartons on shelving raised off the floor, away from damp walls, and rotate stock first-expiry-first-out. Dispense full strips rather than cutting blisters wherever possible, so batch and expiry markings stay with the medicine. Inspect returned or long-held stock for foil damage, capsule deformation or an acetic odour suggesting aspirin degradation, and quarantine anything doubtful.
Pharmacies, clinics, hospitals and distributors can enquire about availability, stockist appointment or trade terms through the contact page on emkomnipharma.com or on WhatsApp at +91 94487 74372. Please route patient-specific clinical questions to the treating physician.

Frequently asked questions
