Lipicure Gold 40 Capsule is taken orally.

Lipicure Gold 40 Capsule comprises three active ingredients:

• Aspirin (75 mg): As an antiplatelet agent, aspirin prevents the formation of thromboxane A2 by irreversibly inhibiting an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1). Thromboxane A2 plays a crucial role in blood clotting. By inhibiting its formation, aspirin reduces the risk of clot formation which can lead to heart attacks or strokes.

• Atorvastatin (40 mg): This is a lipid-lowering medicine that belongs to the statin class. It works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase that plays a key role in making cholesterol in your body. By doing so, it lowers 'bad' cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing 'good' cholesterol levels.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): Clopidogrel is another antiplatelet medicine that selectively and irreversibly stops ADP from binding to its platelet receptor. This prevents platelet activation and aggregation, further reducing the risk of blood clot formation.

• Keep Lipicure Gold 40 Capsule in a tightly closed container.

• Store at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect from light and moisture to maintain the medication's efficacy.

• Always store this medicine out of children's reach.

• Ensure you use the medicine before its expiry date for optimal effectiveness.

• Maintain a heart-friendly diet. Include lots of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains in your meals. Limit processed foods as they often contain hidden salts and sugars that may worsen cardiovascular conditions.

• Regular physical activity is crucial. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise like brisk walking or cycling every day. This can help manage your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. As always, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
