Clopitab-CV 20 Capsule is taken orally.

Clopitab-CV 20 Capsule contains two active ingredients that work together to achieve its medicinal properties:

• Atorvastatin (20mg): This lipid-lowering medication works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your liver. This enzyme is required to produce cholesterol. By inhibiting this enzyme, atorvastatin effectively reduces the levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood, while increasing 'good' HDL cholesterol. This helps to lower the risk of heart disease and prevent heart attacks and strokes.

• Clopidogrel (75mg): As an antiplatelet agent, clopidogrel helps to prevent the formation of harmful blood clots. It does this by irreversibly binding to P2Y12 receptors on platelets, preventing adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from activating these platelets. This action helps to maintain smooth blood flow in your body. For clopidogrel to be effective, it must be converted to its active form by enzymes in your liver.

• If your doctor has prescribed Clopitab-CV 20 Capsule, try to maintain a low-cholesterol diet. This includes consuming more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while reducing intake of saturated fats and trans fats found in fried foods and processed snacks.

• Regular moderate exercise can help manage cholesterol levels too. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity like walking, jogging, or cycling every day. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise regime.
