CompositionAdvastat CV 10/75 Capsule 10 is used to protect against heart attacks, strokes and cholesterol-related artery damage in people at high risk, including those with diabetes, high blood pressure or existing heart disease. It is a combination medicine containing rosuvastatin and clopidogrel, and belongs to the class of statin and antiplatelet medicines.
This medicine combines rosuvastatin, a statin that lowers harmful cholesterol and stabilises existing fatty plaques within the arteries, with clopidogrel, an antiplatelet medicine that helps prevent blood platelets from sticking together and forming harmful blood clots.
A heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet low in saturated fat, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, is an important part of this treatment.
Tell your doctor about any liver disease, kidney impairment or a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, before starting this medicine. This medicine may cause dizziness; avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if affected. Report any unusual bleeding or bruising to your doctor.
