CREVAST GOLD 20 10S

About

CREVAST GOLD 20 is a comprehensive cardiovascular medication, likely combining Rosuvastatin 20mg (a potent statin), Aspirin (an antiplatelet agent), and Clopidogrel (another antiplatelet agent). Rosuvastatin significantly lowers LDL-C by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, reducing the risk of atherosclerotic plaque progression. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1, preventing thromboxane A2 formation and platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel selectively inhibits ADP binding to its receptor on platelets, further preventing platelet activation and aggregation. This triple therapy is typically prescribed for patients at very high risk of recurrent cardiovascular events, such as those with acute coronary syndrome or after percutaneous coronary intervention, to aggressively manage dyslipidemia and prevent thrombotic complications.

Uses

• Prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events.
• Management after acute coronary syndrome.
• Post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) therapy.
• Reduction of risk in high-risk atherosclerotic disease.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, especially with aspirin, as it increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and liver side effects.
• Pregnancy - Rosuvastatin and Aspirin are contraindicated during pregnancy due to potential fetal harm. Clopidogrel is generally not recommended.

• Kidney - Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; dose adjustment may be necessary for rosuvastatin and clopidogrel.
