How does the Drug work
◉Atorvastatin and clopidogrel are two medications commonly used to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease. Atorvastatin belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which work by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver. This, in turn, lowers the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in the blood and helps prevent the formation of plaques in the arteries.
◉ Clopidogrel, on the other hand, belongs to a class of drugs called antiplatelets, which prevent blood clots from forming by inhibiting the activation of platelets. Platelets are small cells in the blood that play a key role in blood clotting, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
◉ When taken together, atorvastatin and clopidogrel can have a complementary effect in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. Atorvastatin helps lower LDL cholesterol, which can contribute to the formation of plaque in the arteries, while clopidogrel helps prevent the formation of blood clots that can lead to blockages in the arteries. The combination of these two drugs can be particularly effective for people with a high risk of cardiovascular events. However, it is important to note that these medications should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
