Description
Atorniz-10 Gold Capsule/Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of a statin (atorvastatin) and two antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel), offering comprehensive protection against heart attack, stroke, and related cardiovascular risks for high-risk patients or those with existing heart or vascular disease.
How it Works / Key Benefits
-
Atorvastatin: Lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, raises HDL, and stabilizes arterial plaques to reduce clogging and long-term damage to arteries.
-
Clopidogrel: Blocks platelet aggregation, reducing the risk of clot formation within blood vessels (prevents heart attack and stroke).
-
Aspirin: Inhibits platelet function via COX-1, further decreasing clot formation risk; the enteric coating helps protect the stomach lining from direct irritation.
Main Uses / Indications
-
Prevention of secondary heart attack, stroke, and vascular death in those with atherosclerosis, diabetes, or previous cardiac procedures/stenting

Comprehensive cardiovascular protection in those with high cholesterol and high risk factors
