Uses of Atorstin Cv 20 Capsule 10
Atorstin Cv 20 Capsule 10 is used to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart-related problems in high-risk patients. It helps manage high cholesterol levels, lowers bad cholesterol (LDL), raises good cholesterol (HDL), and prevents blood clot formation.

Side Effects of Atorstin Cv 20 Capsule 10
Atorstin Cv 20 Capsule 10 may cause headache, joint pain, diarrhoea, upset stomach, cold-like symptoms, and muscle pain (myalgia). These are generally mild and resolve on their own.
Managing the Side Effects:
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Atorstin Cv 20 Capsule 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

How Atorstin Cv 20 Capsule 10 Works?
The Atorstin 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.
