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 the formation of clots in the blood vessels. Together, Gladvas CV 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).
