Atorvastatin & Clopidogrel & ATOVASTRIN CV 20 Mg : Steris Healthcare PVT LTD

ATOVASTRIN CV 20 Mg

Atorvastatin & Clopidogrel

ATOVASTRIN CV 20 mg is a combination medication containing Atorvastatin and Clopidogrel. This medication is primarily used for the prevention of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in patients with high cholesterol and other risk factors. Combining these two drugs provides a comprehensive approach to managing cardiovascular health by addressing both cholesterol levels and platelet aggregation.

Composition

Each ATOVASTRIN CV 20 mg tablet contains:

• Atorvastatin: 20 mg
• Clopidogrel: 75 mg

Uses

ATOVASTRIN CV 20 mg is used for:

1. Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: Helps in preventing heart attacks and strokes in patients with a history of cardiovascular diseases.
2. Management of Hyperlipidemia: Reduces high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
3. Secondary Prevention: Used in patients who have previously experienced a cardiovascular event to prevent recurrence.
4. Peripheral Arterial Disease: Reduces symptoms and prevents complications in patients with peripheral arterial disease.

How It Works

• Atorvastatin: A statin that works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This leads to a decrease in cholesterol levels, particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
• Clopidogrel: An antiplatelet agent that prevents platelets from sticking together and forming clots. It works by inhibiting the P2Y12 component of ADP receptors on the platelet surface, reducing the risk of clot formation.

Dosage

• Standard Dosage: One tablet of ATOVASTRIN CV 20 mg daily.
• Administration: The tablet should be taken orally with water. It can be taken with or without food.
