About atorvastatin clopidogrel capsules

ATOVASTRIN CV 10 is a powerful combination medication formulated to support cardiovascular health. It contains atorvastatin and clopidogrel, two well-researched ingredients known for their vital role in reducing the risk of serious heart-related events. This capsule is prescribed for patients who are at risk of heart attack and stroke, particularly those with high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, or a history of cardiac complications. By addressing multiple risk factors, ATOVASTRIN CV 10 plays an essential role in maintaining heart health and preventing life-threatening cardiovascular incidents.

What is ATOVASTRIN CV 10?

ATOVASTRIN CV 10 is a fixed-dose combination of two active pharmaceutical ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (10 mg): A statin that lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising "good" HDL cholesterol.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): An antiplatelet agent that prevents blood clots by inhibiting platelet aggregation.

Together, atorvastatin clopidogrel work synergistically to prevent heart attack and stroke in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors.

Uses of ATOVASTRIN CV 10

• Prevention of heart attack in patients with coronary artery disease

• Reduction in the risk of stroke and other vascular events

• Management of hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol levels

• Prevention of blood clot formation in arteries

• Support for patients with angina, recent stents, or bypass surgeries

How Does It Work?

ATORVASTATIN reduces cholesterol levels by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. Lower cholesterol levels reduce plaque buildup in arteries and improve blood flow.

CLOPIDOGREL works by preventing platelets in the blood from sticking together and forming clots. This reduces the risk of arteries becoming blocked, which could lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Together, atorvastatin clopidogrel address both lipid levels and blood clot risktwo major contributors to cardiovascular disease.
