Storva Gold 20 Capsule 10

Storva Gold 20 Capsule is used for the following:

• Secondary prevention of cardiovascular events: It's useful if you've already suffered a heart-related incident and want to prevent another one.

• Avoiding cerebrovascular incidents: This includes strokes and mini-strokes due to blood clotting in your brain.

• Management of peripheral arterial disease: This condition involves narrowed or blocked arteries outside of your heart, typically in your legs.

• Control of acute coronary syndrome: It helps manage conditions like angina where blood supply to the heart is suddenly blocked.

• Post-angioplasty care: If you've had an angioplasty, a procedure to widen blocked or narrowed arteries, this medicine can help prevent complications.

Here's how you should take Storva Gold 20 Capsule:

• Swallow it whole with a glass of water. Don't chew, crush, or open it.

• Do not exceed the dose recommended by your doctor.

• If you have any doubts about how to use this medicine, consult your doctor for clarity.

Storva Gold 20 Capsule is taken orally.

Storva Gold 20 Capsule consists of three active ingredients, each playing a unique role:

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): Atorvastatin competes with HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in cholesterol production. This competition leads to an increased number of LDL receptors on liver cells, enhancing the removal of LDL and other harmful lipoproteins from your bloodstream.

• Aspirin (75 mg): This works by irreversibly inhibiting an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX). This results in a decrease in the production of substances called prostaglandins and thromboxane A2, which are involved in platelet aggregation and narrowing of blood vessels.

• Clopidogrel (75 mg): Clopidogrel blocks the P2Y12 component of ADP receptors on the surface of platelets. This prevents the activation of the GPIIb/IIIa receptor complex, leading to a reduction in platelet aggregation, thereby lowering the risk of harmful blood clots forming.

• Always store your Storva Gold 20 Capsule in a cool, dry place, ideally at a temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the capsule container tightly closed to safeguard it from light and moisture.

• Make sure you keep this medicine well out of children's reach.

• Remember to take note of the expiry date and avoid using it past this period.

• To support the cholesterol-lowering effects of the atorvastatin in your Storva Gold 20 Capsule, maintain a balanced diet low in saturated fats and high in fibre. Including colourful fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help.

• Since you're taking this medicine for cardiovascular health, regular moderate exercise like walking or cycling can aid the heart. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new workout regimen.
