Product Description
ATOVASTRIN CV 20 is a combination medication designed to manage cholesterol levels and promote heart health. It combines Atorvastatin, a statin that reduces cholesterol production in the liver, with Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent that prevents blood clots. This dual-action formula is especially beneficial for individuals at high risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.
Key Ingredients
- Atorvastatin (20 mg): A statin that lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good cholesterol).
- Clopidogrel (75 mg): An antiplatelet agent that prevents blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots.
Key Benefits
- Cholesterol Management: Effectively lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while boosting HDL cholesterol.
- Heart Health: Reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes in individuals with high cholesterol and other risk factors.
- Blood Clot Prevention: Clopidogrel component helps in preventing blood clots, thereby reducing the chances of cardiovascular events.
- Comprehensive Cardiovascular Protection: Offers a holistic approach to managing heart health by addressing multiple risk factors.
How Does It Work?
ATOVASTRIN CV 20 works through a dual mechanism. Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production, leading to lower levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides. Clopidogrel, on the other hand, inhibits platelet aggregation, which helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots. Together, these actions help in reducing the overall risk of cardiovascular events.
