About Atorec CV 20 Capsule
Atorec CV 20 Capsule is used in the prevention of heart attack, myocardial infarction (blockage of the blood to muscles of the heart), angina (chest pain), and stroke. A heart attack occurs when your coronary arteries (blood vessels supplying blood and oxygen to the heart) become blocked due to the buildup of fats (plaque), including cholesterol.
Atorec CV 20 Capsule is a combination of Atorvastatin and Clopidogrel. Atorvastatin blocks the ability of the body to produce bad cholesterol and improves the ability of the body to make good cholesterol. Clopidogrel works by decreasing the production of clots, which is harmful to the body.

Most of these side effects of Atorec CV 20 Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
