The Atocor Cv 20 Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): This is a lipid-lowering medication that works by blocking an enzyme known as HMG-CoA reductase in your body. This specific enzyme plays a crucial role in producing cholesterol inside your body. By inhibiting this enzyme, atorvastatin effectively lowers the level of LDL cholesterol circulating in your blood.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This is an anti-platelet medicine that prevents platelets from sticking together and forming potentially harmful blood clots that can block arteries and cause heart attacks or strokes. Clopidogrel irreversibly inhibits a receptor called P2Y12 on the surface of platelets which is vital for platelet activation and clumping.
