10mg Atorvastatin & 75mg Clopidogrel

Introduction

ATOVASTRIN CV 10 is a fixed-dose combination (FDC) therapy comprising two proven cardiovascular agents:Clopidogrel 75 mg – an antiplatelet drug that prevents clot formation and Atorvastatin 10 mg – a statin that reduces cholesterol and stabilizes atherosclerotic plaques.This combination is widely prescribed for patients at risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events, particularly after angioplasty, stent placement, or in chronic atherosclerotic conditions.

Composition

Each hard gelatin capsule of ATOVASTRIN CV 10 contains:

• Atorvastatin Calcium IP eq. to Atorvastatin: 10 mg

• Clopidogrel Bisulfate IP eq. to Clopidogrel: 75 mg

Key Indications & Uses

ATOVASTRIN CV 10 is primarily used for:

• Secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke

• Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stable coronary artery disease (CAD)

• Post-angioplasty or coronary stent implantation

• Managing dyslipidemia with co-existing high cardiovascular risk

• Preventing peripheral arterial thrombosis

This dual therapy reduces the risk of future cardiovascular events by addressing both lipid management and platelet aggregation.

How ATOVASTRIN CV 10 Works

1. Atorvastatin (10 mg) – Statin / HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor

• Lowers LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides

• Increases HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol)

• Stabilizes atherosclerotic plaques and improves endothelial function

• Reduces vascular inflammation

2. Clopidogrel (75 mg) – Antiplatelet / P2Y12 Inhibitor

• Prevents platelets from aggregating, reducing thrombus (clot) formation

• Irreversibly blocks the ADP receptor on platelets

• Lowers risk of arterial clot-related events

Together, they provide comprehensive cardiovascular protection.

Dosage & Administration

• Recommended Dose: One capsule of ATOVASTRIN CV 10 once daily or as directed by the physician.

• Route: Oral

• Timing: Preferably with or after meals to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.

Dosing may be adjusted based on lipid profile, platelet function, and individual cardiovascular risk.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects:

• Headache, dizziness

• Indigestion, abdominal pain

• Myalgia (muscle pain)

• Mild increase in liver enzymes

Serious Side Effects:

• Myopathy or Rhabdomyolysis (rare; associated with statins)

• Bleeding or bruising (from Clopidogrel)

• Allergic reactions

• Liver dysfunction

• Gastrointestinal bleeding

Immediate medical attention is needed if unexplained muscle pain, dark urine, or signs of bleeding occur.

Precautions and Warnings

• Avoid in active liver disease

• Monitor liver function tests periodically

• Use cautiously in patients with:

  • Peptic ulcer disease

  • Recent trauma or surgery

  • Bleeding disorders

• Avoid alcohol to minimize liver toxicity

• Discontinue prior to elective surgery (consult doctor)

Drug Interactions

• Increased bleeding risk with NSAIDs, aspirin, anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin)

• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin) may increase Atorvastatin levels

• Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) may reduce the effect of Clopidogrel

• Cyclosporine and Fibrates may raise the risk of myopathy

Always consult your physician or pharmacist about potential interactions.

Storage Instructions

• Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place.

• Protect from direct light and moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children.
