Description
Atorniz-20 Gold Capsule/Tablet combines a statin and two different antiplatelet agents, providing robust protection against heart attack, stroke, and vascular events in patients at high or established cardiovascular risk (e.g., prior cardiac event, stenting, bypass, diabetes, atherosclerosis).
How it Works / Key Benefits
-
Atorvastatin (20 mg): Statin that lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, raises HDL, reduces triglycerides, and helps stabilize arterial plaques to prevent further blockages or vessel injury.
-
Clopidogrel (75 mg): Blocks platelet aggregation, preventing harmful blood clots within arteries; this is central in the prevention of secondary heart attacks and strokes.
-
Aspirin (75 mg): Irreversibly inhibits platelet function, further reducing clot risk with an enteric coating to protect the stomach.
-
The triple therapy approach offers combined cholesterol lowering and maximum stroke/heart attack prevention, essential for long-term vascular health in high-risk patients.
Main Uses / Indications

Secondary prevention of heart attack and stroke in people with established cardiovascular disease
