Composition

Atorvastatin (20 Mg) + Clopidogrel (75 Mg)

Ecopril At 20/75 MG Tablet 10 is primarily used to help prevent heart attacks and strokes in individuals with heart disease or those at high risk of developing it. This medication is a combination formulation that includes statins and antiplatelet agents.

In addition to its main use, it also reduces the risk of stroke in patients who have previously experienced a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). It helps prevent blood clots after a coronary stent has been placed and works to decrease levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), commonly known as 'bad' cholesterol, and triglycerides, while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or 'good' cholesterol.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you experience any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately. Remember to continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor to achieve optimal results.

How Ecopril At 20/75 MG Tablet 10 Works?

Ecopril At 20/75 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients to achieve its effects:

Atorvastatin (20 mg): This statin works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is essential for cholesterol production in your body. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin effectively lowers LDL levels and reduces the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries.
Clopidogrel (75 mg): As an antiplatelet agent, clopidogrel prevents platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots. It achieves this by irreversibly blocking the P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor on platelets. This action "thins" the blood, aiding in keeping the arteries open.

Ecopril At 20/75 MG Tablet 10 is contraindicated for breastfeeding women. It’s important to understand the potential risks and benefits, so be sure to consult your doctor.

Liver

Patients with active liver disease should avoid taking Ecopril At 20/75 MG Tablet 10, as it is contraindicated. If you have liver problems, it's essential to discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine, as it may affect liver function.

Using Machines & Driving
