CREVAST CV 20

AboutCrevast CV 20 is a combination medication containing Rosuvastatin 20mg and Clopidogrel, specifically designed for patients requiring both intensive lipid-lowering and effective antiplatelet therapy. Rosuvastatin is a high-potency statin that effectively reduces elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing beneficial HDL cholesterol, thereby stabilizing atherosclerotic plaques and significantly reducing cardiovascular risk. Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent that works by irreversibly inhibiting platelet aggregation, thus preventing the formation of dangerous blood clots. This combination is particularly useful for individuals with dyslipidemia who are also at high risk of thrombotic events, such as those with a history of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease, or those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement.UsesPrevention of atherosclerotic events in high-risk patients.Management of dyslipidemia with concurrent antiplatelet needs.Secondary prevention of heart attack and stroke.Patients post-stent implantation or acute coronary syndrome.Directions For UseTake one tablet orally once daily, with or without food, as directed by your physician.
