About Atorna Gold 20 Capsule 15's

Atorna Gold 20 Capsule 15's is a combination drug of blood-thinning agents and cholesterol-lowering agents, primarily taken for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. It also lowers the raised level of cholesterol in our body. A heart attack generally refers to a blocked flow of blood to the heart due to the blockage of arteries. The blockage is most often a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).

Atorna Gold 20 Capsule 15's is composed of three medicines namely: Atorvastatin, Clopidogrel and Aspirin. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make cholesterol in the body. It reduces the bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoproteins or LDL), triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Clopidogrel and Aspirin are blood thinners (anticoagulant) that collectively prevent the formation of a clot in the blood vessels. It also helps to reduce the increased levels of bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides). Together Atorna Gold 20 Capsule 15's help to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart-related chest pain (angina).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Atherosclerosis occurs when fats, cholesterol, and other substances known as plaque deposits on your artery walls that restrict blood flow. This plaque formation triggers blood clot, narrow the arteries size, and makes it hardened. This in turn can lead to various heart complications like atherosclerosis, heart attack, heart-related chest pain (angina), and stroke. However, it can also affect the arteries of the body apart from the heart.
