Uses:

AVAS CV 20MG CAPSULE is used in the treatment of Hyperlipidemia (Increased cholesterol) and the Prevention of Cardiovascular events. The detailed uses of AVAS CV 20MG CAPSULE are as follows:<br/>• Treatment of Hyperlipidemia: AVAS CV 20MG CAPSULE is used to treat hyperlipidemia by lowering cholesterol levels, particularly LDL (bad) cholesterol.<br/>• Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: AVAS CV 20MG CAPSULE is used to prevent heart attack and stroke by lowering cholesterol and preventing blood clots.<br/>

Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make cholesterol in the body. As a result, it lowers the bad cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins or LDL) and triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Clopidogrel is a blood thinner (anticoagulant) that collectively prevents clot formation in the blood vessels. Together AVAS CV 20MG CAPSULE reduces the increased levels of bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides) and prevents blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart-related chest pain (angina).
