Fpstatin Gold 20 Capsule 10's

Fpstatin Gold 20 Capsule 10's belongs to a class of medication called 'cardiovascular drugs' used to prevent heart attack and stroke. It also lowers bad cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels. Heart attack refers to blocked blood flow to the heart due to blockage of arteries. The blockage is mostly a build-up of cholesterol, fat, and other substances that form a plaque in the arteries which feed the heart (coronary arteries). A stroke occurs due to blocked blood flow to the brain.

Fpstatin Gold 20 Capsule 10's is a combination of two blood thinners (Acetylsalicylic acid, Clopidogrel) and one lipid-lowering agent (Atorvastatin). Acetylsalicylic acid and Clopidogrel work by inhibiting platelets (blood cells) from sticking together. Thereby, it prevents the formation of blood clots. Atorvastatin belongs to the class of lipid-lowering medicines called statins that works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the body that is essential to make cholesterol, thereby decreasing the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) by the liver. Thus, it reduces the risk of stroke or heart attack by reducing the brain's excess cholesterol deposition and the heart's major blood vessels.

Heart attack: It refers to blocked blood flow to the heart due to blockage of arteries. The blockage is most often a build-up of fat, cholesterol, and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). A heart attack's symptoms include discomfort in the chest or upper areas of the body, shortness of breath, or lightheadedness.

Stroke: It occurs due to blocked blood flow to the brain. Symptoms of stroke include arm weakness and speech difficulty. Heart attack or stroke may occur due to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking, family history, or lack of physical activity.
