Ischemic stroke occurs when there is a blockage of the blood vessel of the brain decreasing blood flow to a particular area of the brain. This blockage occurs due to plaque formation (deposition in the arteries where cholesterol combines with fat, calcium, and fibrin).

So, a dose adjustment of Rosuson may be needed when given along with febuxostat.|Does Rosuson play any role in the management of sepsis-associated Acute (or Adult) respiratory distress syndrome? : Rosuson is not used in the treatment of sepsis associated Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
