1. What Zahron ASA is and what it is used for
Zahron ASA contains two active substances – rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid.
- Rosuvastatin belongs to a group of substances called statins, which are lipid-regulating medicines used to lower blood levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides, when a low-fat diet and lifestyle changes alone have proven insufficient. Cholesterol is a fatty substance (lipid) that can narrow blood vessels in the heart, leading to coronary artery disease. If you are at risk of a subsequent heart attack, rosuvastatin may also be used to reduce this risk, even if cholesterol levels are within the normal range. A standard cholesterol-lowering diet should be maintained during treatment.
- Acetylsalicylic acid, in low doses, belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are small blood cells involved in blood clotting and thrombosis. When a blood clot forms in an artery, it blocks blood flow and cuts off oxygen supply. If this occurs in the heart, it may cause a heart attack or angina pectoris. These two active substances, taken together, reduce the risk of a subsequent heart attack in patients who have already suffered a heart attack or who experience chest pain attacks (unstable angina pectoris). Zahron ASA is indicated for patients already taking rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid at these doses. Instead of taking rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid as separate tablets, the patient receives one capsule of Zahron ASA containing both components at the same strength as previously used.
2. Important information before using Zahron ASA
When not to use Zahron ASA:
- If the patient is allergic to rosuvastatin, acetylsalicylic acid, any other salicylates or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If the patient has a known hypersensitivity to peanuts or soy (see below).
- If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, or becomes pregnant while taking Zahron ASA, she should immediately stop taking it and inform her doctor. Women should avoid becoming pregnant while taking Zahron ASA by using appropriate contraception.
- If the patient has liver disease.
- If the patient has severe kidney disease.
- If the patient has recurrent or unexplained muscle pain.
- If the patient is taking the combination sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (used to treat viral hepatitis C).
- If the patient is taking a medicine called cyclosporine (e.g. after organ transplantation).
- If the patient has experienced asthma attacks or swelling of certain body parts such as face, lips, throat or tongue (angioedema) after taking salicylates or NSAIDs.
- If the patient currently has or has previously had stomach or small intestine ulcers or any other bleeding, such as stroke.
- If the patient has ever had blood clotting disorders.
- If the patient has gout.
- If the patient has decompensated heart failure.
- If the patient is taking a medicine called methotrexate (e.g. for cancer or rheumatoid arthritis) in doses exceeding 15 mg per week.
- If the patient has ever experienced severe skin rash, skin peeling, blisters and/or oral ulcers after taking Zahron ASA or similar medicines.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting Zahron ASA, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist:
-
If the patient has impaired kidney function.
-
If the patient has liver problems.
-
If the patient has previously experienced recurrent or unexplained muscle pain, muscle problems in the patient or family members, or muscle problems while previously taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines. The patient should immediately inform the doctor if unexplained muscle pain occurs, especially if accompanied by feeling unwell or fever. The patient should also inform the doctor or pharmacist if persistent muscle weakness occurs.
-
If the patient regularly consumes large amounts of alcohol.
-
If the patient has thyroid dysfunction.
-
If the patient is taking other medicines called fibrates to lower cholesterol. Carefully read the package leaflet, even if the patient has previously taken other cholesterol-lowering medicines.
-
If the patient is taking HIV antiviral medicines such as ritonavir with lopinavir and/or atazanawir; see section "Zahron ASA with other medicines".
-
If the patient is taking or has taken within the last 7 days an oral or injectable medicine containing fusidic acid (used for bacterial infections); concomitant use of Zahron ASA with fusidic acid may lead to severe muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis); see section "Zahron ASA with other medicines".
-
The risk of muscle-related adverse effects may be increased when daptomycin is taken during treatment with Zahron ASA. The doctor will decide whether to discontinue daptomycin or temporarily suspend Zahron ASA.
-
If the patient has severe respiratory insufficiency.
-
If the patient is over 70 years old.
-
If the patient is of Asian origin (i.e. Japan, China, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea and India). The doctor must choose an appropriate starting dose of Zahron ASA suitable for the patient.
-
If the patient currently has or has previously had stomach or small intestine problems (ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding).
-
If the patient is concurrently taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen (analgesic, antipyretic or anti-inflammatory medicines).
-
If the patient has hypertension.
-
If the patient has asthma, hay fever, nasal polyps or other chronic respiratory diseases; acetylsalicylic acid may trigger asthma attacks.
-
In case of hypersensitivity (allergy) to other analgesic and anti-inflammatory medicines, other anti-rheumatic medicines or other allergens.
-
If the patient has other allergies (e.g. with skin reactions, itching).
-
If the patient is taking other anticoagulant medicines (e.g. coumarin derivatives, heparin – except low-dose heparin).
-
In case of impaired kidney function or reduced blood flow to the heart and blood vessels (e.g. renal vascular disease, cardiac muscle weakness, reduced blood volume, sepsis or increased bleeding): acetylsalicylic acid may further increase the risk of kidney dysfunction and acute kidney failure.
-
If the patient experiences heavy menstrual bleeding.
-
If the patient has or has previously had myasthenia (a disease causing general muscle weakness, including in some cases muscles involved in breathing) or ocular myasthenia (a disease causing weakness of eye muscles), since statins may sometimes worsen symptoms or lead to myasthenia (see section 4).
Seek immediate medical advice if symptoms worsen or if serious or unexpected adverse effects occur, such as unusual bleeding symptoms, severe skin reactions or any other symptoms of severe allergy (see section "Possible side effects").
Metamizole or certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen (analgesic and antipyretic agents), may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation (clumping of blood cells and clot formation) when used concomitantly. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using them together in patients receiving low-dose acetylsalicylic acid for cardioprotection.
In a small number of people, statins may affect the liver. This is detected by a simple blood test showing elevated liver enzyme activity. For this reason, the doctor will usually recommend this blood test (liver function test) before starting and during treatment with Zahron ASA.
While taking this medicine, the doctor will closely monitor the patient if the patient has diabetes or is at risk of developing diabetes. The risk of developing diabetes is higher if the patient has high blood sugar and fat levels, is overweight and has high blood pressure.
Care should be taken to avoid dehydration (the patient may feel thirsty with dry mouth), as concomitant use of acetylsalicylic acid may lead to worsening kidney function.
Inform the doctor if the patient is planning a surgical procedure (even minor, such as tooth extraction), as acetylsalicylic acid thins the blood and may increase the risk of bleeding.
Acetylsalicylic acid may cause Reye's syndrome when given to children. Reye's syndrome is a very rare condition affecting the brain and liver and may lead to death. For this reason, Zahron ASA should not be given to children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
In patients with severe glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: acetylsalicylic acid may cause accelerated or excessive breakdown of red blood cells or a certain form of anaemia. This risk may be increased by factors such as high doses, fever or acute infections.
Low doses of acetylsalicylic acid may reduce uric acid excretion. This may trigger gout attacks in patients at risk.
In case of cuts or injury, bleeding may last slightly longer than usual. This is related to the effect of acetylsalicylic acid. Minor cuts and injuries (e.g. during shaving) usually are not significant. If the patient experiences unusual bleeding (in an unusual location or of unusual duration), contact the doctor.
Severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), have been reported with rosuvastatin use. If any of the symptoms described in section 4 occur, stop taking Zahron ASA and contact a doctor immediately.
Acetylsalicylic acid-containing medicines should not be used long-term or in high doses without consulting a doctor.
Children and adolescents
Zahron ASA should not be used in children and adolescents.

-
Erythromycin, clarithromycin (antibiotics),
-
Medicines reducing blood clotting and preventing thrombosis (e.g. warfarin, heparin, coumarin, ticagrelor, clopidogrel, ticlopidine): acetylsalicylic acid may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with medicines that dissolve blood clots or thin the blood. Therefore, if such treatment is planned, watch for signs of external or internal bleeding (e.g. bruising),
-
Organ transplant rejection (cyclosporine, tacrolimus),
-
Hypertension (e.g. diuretics and ACE inhibitors),
-
Heart rate regulation (digoxin),
-
Bipolar disorder (lithium),
-
Analgesic and anti-inflammatory medicines (non-steroidal analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs) and anti-rheumatic medicines containing salicylic acid: increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers,
-
Gout (e.g. probenecid, benzbromarone),
-
Glaucoma (acetazolamide),
-
Cancer or rheumatoid arthritis (methotrexate; doses lower than 15 mg per week),
-
Medicines lowering blood sugar (antidiabetic medicines) such as insulin, tolbutamide, glibenclamide (sulfonylureas) in combination with higher doses of acetylsalicylic acid – may lead to reduced blood sugar levels.
-
Depression (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as sertraline or paroxetine).
-
Medicines used as hormone replacement therapy in case of adrenal or pituitary gland damage or removal (except topical products or cortisone replacement therapy for Addison's disease) or for treating inflammatory conditions, including rheumatic diseases and inflammatory bowel disease (corticosteroids). Concomitant use increases the risk of gastrointestinal adverse effects.
-
Seizures (valproic acid).
-
Medicines causing increased urine excretion (diuretics: aldosterone antagonists such as spironolactone and canrenone, loop diuretics such as furosemide).
-
Alcohol: increases the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.
If the patient needs to take oral fusidic acid for bacterial infection treatment, temporary discontinuation of Zahron ASA is required. The doctor will inform the patient when it is safe to resume taking this medicine. Taking Zahron ASA with fusidic acid may rarely lead to muscle weakness, tenderness or pain (rhabdomyolysis). More information on rhabdomyolysis is provided in section 4.
Taking Zahron ASA with food and drink
Alcohol consumption may potentially increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and prolong bleeding time.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Do not take Zahron ASA if the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding. If pregnancy occurs while taking Zahron ASA, immediately stop taking it and inform the doctor. Women should avoid becoming pregnant while taking Zahron ASA by using appropriate contraception.
Driving and using machines
Most people can drive and operate machinery while taking Zahron ASA – it will not affect their ability to drive motor vehicles. However, some people may experience dizziness while taking Zahron ASA. If the capsules cause nausea, dizziness, fatigue or headache, do not drive or operate machinery and contact a doctor immediately.
Zahron ASA contains lactose
If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to certain sugars, consult a doctor before taking this medicine.
Zahron ASA contains soybean oil
Do not use if the patient has a known hypersensitivity to peanuts or soy.

Missed dose of Zahron ASA
Do not worry. If a capsule is missed, completely skip that dose.
Take the next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
Stopping Zahron ASA
The doctor will inform the patient how long the medicine should be taken. After stopping Zahron ASA, cholesterol levels may rise again. If the patient stops taking the medicine before receiving appropriate advice, the condition may recur.
If there are any further doubts regarding the use of this medicine, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
4. Possible adverse effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause adverse effects, although not everyone will experience them.
Treatment with Zahron ASA must be discontinued and immediate medical help sought
if any of the following very rare, serious adverse effects occur after taking this medicine:
- Sudden wheezing, chest pain, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing
- Swelling of the eyelids, face, or lips
- Swelling of the tongue and throat, causing significant difficulty in breathing and/or swallowing
- Severe skin reactions, including intense rash, urticaria, generalized redness of the skin, severe itching, blistering, peeling and swelling of the skin, mucosal inflammation (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), or other allergic reactions
- Black stools or vomiting blood (signs of severe gastrointestinal bleeding)
