Crevast Cv 20 Capsule 15 has two active ingredients that work in different ways:

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): Clopidogrel belongs to a group of medicines known as antiplatelet agents. It functions by blocking a receptor on platelets, which are blood cells that help form clots. This prevents these platelets from sticking together and forming clots. As a result, it reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes caused by blocked arteries.

• Rosuvastatin (20 mg): As a statin or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, Rosuvastatin blocks an enzyme in the liver that makes cholesterol. This action lowers total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol), and triglycerides in the blood while slightly raising high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol). By doing so, it helps stop cholesterol from building up in the arteries, thereby reducing the chances of heart disease and stroke.

• Regular physical activity can help manage cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease. A routine of moderate exercise like brisk walking for at least 30 minutes a day is beneficial.

• Maintain a heart-friendly diet. Include foods low in saturated fats and high in fibre, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit intake of trans fats found in processed foods. Always consult your doctor before making significant changes to your diet or exercise regimen.
