Clopitorva 20 Capsule is administered orally.

The active ingredient of Clopitorva 20 Capsule are as follows:

• Atorvastatin (20 MG) - Its primary mechanism of action involves the inhibition of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is responsible for cholesterol production in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin reduces the synthesis of cholesterol, specifically low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad cholesterol." 
• This results in decreased LDL cholesterol levels circulating in the bloodstream. Additionally, atorvastatin may modestly elevate the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "good cholesterol."
• Clopidogrel (75 MG) - Its mechanism of action primarily involves inhibiting platelet aggregation, a process in which blood platelets clump together to form clots. Clopidogrel achieves this by selectively blocking certain receptors on the platelet surface, which are responsible for binding to substances that promote platelet activation and clot formation. 
• By inhibiting platelet aggregation, clopidogrel reduces the risk of blood clots forming in the arteries, thus helping to prevent conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. This antiplatelet effect makes clopidogrel a vital medication for individuals with a history of cardiovascular events or conditions.

• Clopitorva 20 Capsule should be stored at room temperature (15-25ºC) in a cool, dry place. 
• Protect it from light and moisture. 
• Keep it out of reach of children. 
• Do not use the medication after the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.
