Atorfit CV 10 Capsule is taken orally.

Atorfit CV 10 Capsule consists of two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (10 mg): This ingredient works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your body. This enzyme is crucial in the formation of cholesterol. By blocking its activity, atorvastatin successfully reduces the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood while increasing the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This antiplatelet medication works by preventing platelets from clumping together and forming harmful blood clots. It does this by irreversibly binding to P2Y12 receptors on platelets, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

• Store Atorfit CV 10 Capsule in a tightly sealed container.

• Keep it at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Avoid exposure to excessive moisture and direct sunlight.

• Keep the medicine out of reach of children and pets.

• Always check the expiry date before using the capsule.

• Since Atorfit CV 10 Capsule is used to manage high cholesterol levels, a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol can help enhance the effectiveness of this medicine.

• Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking this medicine, as it can increase the level of atorvastatin in your body, potentially leading to harmful side effects.
