Atorzux Gold 20 Capsule is taken orally.

‍

Atorzux Gold 20 Capsule combines three active components that work collectively to manage cardiovascular health:

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): Belonging to the statin class, atorvastatin inhibits the liver enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, responsible for cholesterol synthesis. This results in reduced levels of LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol while slightly increasing HDL cholesterol.

• Aspirin (75 mg): This component reduces platelet aggregation and inhibits thromboxane A2 production, thereby preventing blood clot formation. It essentially makes the blood less sticky, reducing the likelihood of clots that could cause heart attacks or strokes.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): As an antiplatelet agent, clopidogrel prevents ADP from binding to its platelet receptor. By blocking ADP, it reduces the activation of platelets, decreasing the risk of harmful clot formation.

Drug-Drug Interactions

• Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Concurrent use may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

• Anticoagulants: The antiplatelet effect of aspirin and clopidogrel may enhance the risk of bleeding.

• CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Certain medicines may increase atorvastatin levels, raising the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.

Drug-Food Interactions

• Grapefruit: Consuming grapefruit or its juice could elevate atorvastatin levels, potentially leading to increased side effects.

Drug-Disease Interactions

• Active Bleeding Conditions: In conditions like peptic ulcers or intracranial haemorrhage, this medicine can increase the risk of excessive bleeding.
