Description:
Lipivin-CA is a synergistic combination of three powerful medications designed to manage cardiovascular conditions effectively. This formulation combines Rosuvastatin, Clopidogrel, and Aspirin to offer comprehensive support for heart health.
Indications:
Lipivin-CA is prescribed for:
- Prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD).
- Reduction of the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.
- Management of dyslipidemia in conjunction with other therapeutic interventions.
Mechanism of Action:
- Rosuvastatin: A statin that works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, thus lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL cholesterol.
- Clopidogrel: An antiplatelet agent that inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking the P2Y12 ADP receptor on platelets, thereby reducing the risk of thrombotic events.
- Aspirin: An anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet agent that inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), reducing thromboxane A2 production and decreasing platelet aggregation, which helps prevent blood clots.
