Atorzux CV 20 Capsule contains two active components with distinct mechanisms of action:
• Atorvastatin (20 mg): As a statin, atorvastatin lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL cholesterol levels. It reduces cholesterol production in the liver, thereby decreasing the risk of atherosclerosis, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This antiplatelet agent inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking the ADP receptor on platelet cell membranes. This action prevents the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
