Uses of Atocor Gold Capsule
Benefits of Atocor Gold Capsule
In Prevention of Heart attack
Atocor Gold 20 Capsule is a combination of two medicines used to prevent heart attack. It helps reduce the amount of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and raises the amount of “good” cholesterol (HDL) in your blood. High cholesterol levels can cause your blood vessels to narrow (atherosclerosis). Lowering the amount of cholesterol reduces the chances of heart disease and helps you remain healthier for longer. Additionally, it prevents the formation of blood clots and also prevents existing ones from growing bigger. Take it regularly and make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthy and staying active) to maximize the effectiveness of this medicine. Keep taking it even if you feel well.

How Atocor Gold Capsule works
Atocor Gold 20 Capsule is a combination of three medicines: aspirin, atorvastatin, and clopidogrel. Aspirin and clopidogrel are antiplatelet medications. They work by preventing the platelets from sticking together and decreasing the formation of harmful blood clots. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks an enzyme required in the body to make cholesterol. It lowers the "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and raises the "good" cholesterol (HDL).
