Ecopril A Gold 20/75 Capsule 15 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.
