Atorlip Gold 20 Capsule (Aspirin 75mg / Atorvastatin 20mg / Clopidogrel 75mg)

Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make cholesterol in the body. It reduces the bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoproteins or LDL), triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Clopidogrel and Aspirin are blood thinners (anticoagulant) that collectively prevent the formation of a clot in the blood vessels.

Together Atorlip Gold 20 Capsule 10’s help to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart-related chest pain (angina).
