LIPICURE GOLD 10MG CAPSULE is composed of three medicines namely: Atorvastatin (lipid or cholesterol-lowering medicine), Aspirin (analgesic and anticoagulant) and Clopidogrel (anticoagulant). Together they help in lowering increased bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein - LDL) and raise good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein - HDL). This, in turn, prevents the formation of blood clots and plaque (cholesterol) deposited in the walls of heart arteries thereby minimizing the risk of cardiovascular heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.
