REVOSTATIN CV 20

REVOSTATIN CV 20 is a powerful combination therapy containing Rosuvastatin (20 mg) and Clopidogrel (75 mg), specifically formulated to manage high cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. This dual-action tablet is commonly prescribed for individuals at high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). It helps reduce LDL cholesterol, prevent plaque buildup, and inhibit blood clot formation, offering comprehensive protection for heart and blood vessel health.

Key Ingredients:

Rosuvastatin (20 mg):
A potent statin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) that lowers “bad” LDL cholesterol, raises “good” HDL cholesterol, and reduces triglyceride levels. It is effective in slowing down the progression of atherosclerosis and reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Clopidogrel (75 mg):
An antiplatelet agent that works by preventing blood platelets from clumping together, thereby reducing the risk of blood clots. It is especially beneficial for patients with a history of heart attack, stroke, or those who have undergone angioplasty or stent placement.

Key Benefits:

• Effectively lowers LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels

• Increases HDL cholesterol to improve lipid profile

• Prevents blood clots, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke

• Offers dual cardiovascular protection in a single daily dose

• Helps patients with coronary artery disease or post-cardiac interventions

• Improves long-term outcomes in patients with high atherosclerotic risk

How Does It Work?

REVOSTATIN CV 20 provides a two-fold mechanism of action:

• Rosuvastatin inhibits the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver, which is responsible for cholesterol production. By lowering LDL cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol, it reduces the formation of fatty deposits (plaques) in the arteries, thus improving blood flow and lowering cardiovascular risk.

• Clopidogrel works by irreversibly inhibiting the P2Y12 component of ADP receptors on platelet surfaces, preventing platelet aggregation. This reduces the chance of clot formation, especially in narrowed arteries, and protects against thrombotic cardiovascular events.

Together, they offer a comprehensive cardiovascular defense, targeting both cholesterol levels and clot formation.

Directions for Use:

• Take REVOSTATIN CV 20 as directed by your doctor.

• Typically, the tablet is taken once daily, preferably in the evening.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew.

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Follow a cholesterol-lowering diet and maintain an active lifestyle as advised.

• Regular monitoring of lipid levels, liver function, and platelet count may be necessary.

Side Effects:

While REVOSTATIN CV 20 is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects:

Common Side Effects:

• Headache

• Muscle pain or weakness

• Dizziness

• Nausea or abdominal discomfort

• Constipation or diarrhea

• Easy bruising or bleeding (due to Clopidogrel)

Serious (but rare) Side Effects:

• Liver enzyme elevation

• Myopathy or rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle damage)

• Severe bleeding or gastrointestinal bleeding

• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling

• Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count)

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, severe muscle pain, unusual bleeding, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
