Product introduction

Atorfit CV 10 Capsule is a combination medication designed for heart attack prevention and managing high cholesterol levels. It contains Atorvastatin, which effectively lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL) while increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the bloodstream. Elevated cholesterol levels can lead to a narrowing of blood vessels, known as atherosclerosis. By reducing cholesterol levels, this medication helps decrease the risk of heart diseases, contributing to better long-term health. Additionally, it includes Clopidogrel, a blood thinner that helps prevent the formation of blood clots and minimizes the growth of existing ones. For optimal results, take this medication regularly and adopt a healthier lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Continue taking it even if you feel well.

Product Description

Atorfit CV 10 Capsule is a combination medication designed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes. It works by lowering levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (fats) in the blood, as well as reducing the risk of blood clot formation. To minimize the risk of stomach upset, this medication should be taken with food. It is important to take Atorfit CV 10 Capsule regularly at the same time each day, following your doctor's prescribed schedule. The specific dose and duration of your treatment will depend on your individual health needs. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if you start to feel better, and consider adopting lifestyle changes such as a low-fat diet, regular exercise, and quitting smoking to enhance the effectiveness of the medication. Common side effects may include nausea, abdominal pain, headache, and constipation. Since this medication can increase your risk of bleeding, exercise caution when using sharp objects, shaving, or participating in contact sports (like football and wrestling). Inform your doctor if you experience symptoms such as yellowing of the skin, muscle pain, or dark urine. Before starting this medication, disclose any history of liver or kidney disease or bleeding disorders to your doctor. Additionally, inform them if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Be sure to share with your healthcare team any other medications you are currently taking, as they may interact with Atorfit CV 10 Capsule.

It lowers the "bad" cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides and raises the "good" cholesterol (HDL). Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication which prevents the platelets from sticking together and decreases the formation of harmful blood clots.
