How it Works?
Atorzux CV 10 Capsule comprises two active components:
• Atorvastatin (10 mg): A statin that inhibits an enzyme in the liver crucial for cholesterol biosynthesis. It effectively reduces triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol while enhancing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
• Clopidogrel (75 mg): An antiplatelet agent that inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking a specific receptor on the platelet surface, thereby reducing the risk of thrombus formation, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
