It is a combination medicine belonging to the groups of medicines called antiplatelets and lipid-lowering medicines (statins). It reduce the tendency of the blood to clot and lower harmful cholesterol. Take it as directed by your doctor, usually once daily, and continue for the full duration prescribed even if you feel well.
Heart-healthy habits support treatment alongside this medicine. These include eating a balanced diet low in saturated fat, staying active as advised, quitting smoking, and keeping to a healthy weight.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any liver problems, bleeding problems, unexplained muscle pain, or other medicines you take. Because it makes bleeding more likely, report any unusual bleeding, and tell your doctor promptly about persistent muscle pain or weakness, as this can occur with cholesterol-lowering medicines. Avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice, as this can affect the cholesterol-lowering part of this medicine.
