ATORMAC CV-10 – CAP

Atormac CV 10 Capsule is a dual-action medication that combines two key components: Atorvastatin (10 mg), a statin used to lower cholesterol, and Clopidogrel (75 mg), an antiplatelet agent. Atorvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in cholesterol production in the liver, thus lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Clopidogrel prevents blood platelets from aggregating, reducing the risk of clot formation, and thus lowering the likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious cardiovascular events.

This medication is primarily prescribed to individuals at high risk for cardiovascular diseases due to factors such as high cholesterol, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease. It is also used to manage hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart-related issues.

The typical dose is one capsule per day, as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and adopt healthy lifestyle practices, including diet and exercise, to optimize the benefits of the treatment.

Common side effects may include headache, nausea, muscle pain, and gastrointestinal discomfort, while serious side effects like muscle weakness, unusual bleeding, or liver problems require immediate medical attention.

As with any combination therapy, Atormac CV 10 should be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional, who will monitor for side effects and make adjustments based on individual health needs.
