How Clopidogrel + Rosuvastatin works

Rosuvastatin falls under the statins category. It acts by inhibiting an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is necessary for the body to produce cholesterol, therefore reducing "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL). Clopidogrel falls under the antiplatelet category. It stops platelets from adhering and reduces the development of severe blood clots. It reduces the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
