RAZEL CV 20MG TAB 10.S

About

RAZEL CV 20MG TAB is a combination medication containing Rosuvastatin and Clopidogrel. Rosuvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, thereby lowering LDL-C ("bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides, and increasing HDL-C ("good" cholesterol). Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent that prevents platelets from clumping together to form harmful blood clots. This combination is typically prescribed for patients who require both lipid-lowering therapy and antiplatelet therapy, particularly after certain cardiovascular events like a heart attack or stroke, or in those undergoing procedures like stent placement. It helps to reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events by managing cholesterol levels and preventing blood clot formation.
