ATCHOL GOLD 10 TABLETS

Description

ATCHOL GOLD 10 CAPSULE is a prescription medication that combines three active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (10 mg): A statin that reduces levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): An antiplatelet agent that prevents blood platelets from clumping together, reducing the risk of blood clots.

• Aspirin (75 mg): A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that also acts as an antiplatelet agent, further preventing blood clot formation.

This combination is used in the management of patients with cardiovascular diseases, particularly those who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or have experienced a myocardial infarction (heart attack). It helps in reducing the risk of further cardiovascular events by lowering cholesterol levels and preventing blood clots.

Dosage and Administration:
The usual dosage is one capsule taken orally once daily, with or without food. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Side Effects:
Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, muscle pain, and swelling of the ankles. Serious side effects, though rare, can include liver dysfunction, bleeding complications, and allergic reactions.

Precautions:
ATCHOL GOLD 10 CAPSULE should not be used in individuals with active liver disease, active bleeding disorders, or a history of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Caution is advised in elderly patients and those with kidney or liver impairment.

Drug Interactions:
ATCHOL GOLD 10 CAPSULE may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, certain antibiotics, antifungals, and other cholesterol-lowering agents. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
