Atorvatin Gold 20/75/75 Capsule 10 is used for long-term protection against future heart attacks and strokes, particularly in patients with existing heart disease or blood vessel blockages.

Atorvatin Gold 20/75/75 Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Atorvatin Gold 20/75/75 Capsule 10 combines three active ingredients:

• Aspirin (75 mg): This component acts by inhibiting platelet cyclo-oxygenase 1 in your body. This blocks thromboxane A2 synthesis, leading to reduced platelet aggregation, thus preventing clot formation.

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): This ingredient works by competitively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme critical for cholesterol biosynthesis in your body. The inhibition leads to increased LDL clearance, reducing LDL cholesterol levels and slowing the progression of coronary atherosclerosis.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): Clopidogrel is a prodrug that inhibits ADP-mediated platelet aggregation by irreversibly binding to P2Y12 receptors on platelets in your blood. This action provides additional protection against thromboembolic events when combined with aspirin.

• Store Atorvatin Gold 20/75/75 Capsule 10 in a cool, dry place, ideally at a temperature between 15 to 30°C.

• Protect the medicine from exposure to light and moisture.

• Keep Atorvatin Gold 20/75/75 Capsule 10 out of the reach of children.

• For managing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, try to consume a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy. Limit your intake of saturated fats and cholesterol.

• Regular physical activity can also be beneficial. Try to engage in moderate aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
