Directions for Use of Atorvatin Cl 20/75 Capsule 15
Here's how to take Atorvatin Cl 20/75 Capsule 15:
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Don't crush, chew or open it.
It can be taken at any time, with or without food.
Consult your doctor for any specific instructions or queries regarding its use.
Route of Administration

Side Effects of Atorvatin Cl 20/75 Capsule 15
Atorvatin Cl 20/75 Capsule 15 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 Atorvatin Cl 20/75 Capsule 15. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Diarrhoea: Drinking plenty of fluids may help prevent dehydration caused by diarrhoea.
How Atorvatin Cl 20/75 Capsule 15 Works?
The Atorvatin Cl 20/75 Capsule 15 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.
