Lipikind-CV 20 Capsule is taken orally.

Lipikind-CV 20 Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): As an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, this component effectively blocks cholesterol synthesis in your liver and increases LDL receptors on liver cells. The result? Enhanced uptake and breakdown of LDL cholesterol – leads to a significant reduction in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and apo-B levels. It even slightly increases HDL cholesterol levels.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): This ingredient is a prodrug that needs activation by an enzyme called CYP2C19 in your liver. Once activated, it permanently blocks the P2Y12 ADP receptor on platelets. By doing so, it inhibits ADP-mediated platelet activation and aggregation processes – this essentially prevents thrombus (blood clot) formation.

• Store Lipikind-CV 20 Capsule in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep it safe from excessive light and moisture.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before using the capsule.

• Incorporate a low-fat diet to help manage high cholesterol levels. This includes reducing your intake of saturated fats like butter and ghee and increasing your intake of fibre-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

• Regular physical activity can help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week.
