Atorfit CV 20 Capsule

Atorfit CV 20 Capsule is a combination medicine designed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes by targeting two major risk factors: high cholesterol and blood clots. It contains Atorvastatin, which helps lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol. It also includes Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet agent that reduces the tendency of blood to form clots.

This medication should be taken with food to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body. It’s essential to follow your doctor’s prescribed course and not discontinue use even if you start feeling better. Supporting your treatment with lifestyle changes—such as a healthy diet, regular physical activity, avoiding tobacco, and limiting alcohol—can enhance the medication’s effectiveness.

Some people may experience mild side effects such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, or muscle aches. Since this medicine can thin the blood, it’s wise to be cautious when using sharp tools or engaging in physical activities where cuts or injuries might occur. Notify your doctor if you notice symptoms like yellowing skin, dark urine, or unexplained muscle pain.

Before starting this medication, inform your healthcare provider if you have any issues related to your liver, kidneys, or bleeding tendencies. It’s not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically recommended by your doctor. Always disclose any other medications you’re using, as interactions may occur.

Primary Use: Prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with elevated cholesterol levels or clotting risk.

How it Works: The statin component (Atorvastatin) reduces cholesterol production in the liver. Clopidogrel inhibits platelet aggregation, lowering the risk of clot formation.

Typical Side Effects: Stomach discomfort, indigestion, dizziness, weakness, headache, diarrhea, and muscle pain.
