Avas CV 10 Capsule is a combination medicine that contains Atorvastatin (a statin) and Clopidogrel (an antiplatelet). It is primarily used for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes in patients with high cholesterol or a history of cardiovascular disease. It works by lowering harmful cholesterol and preventing the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels.

How Avas CV 10 Capsule works
Avas CV 10 Capsule combines the action of two powerful ingredients:
- Atorvastatin is a statin that lowers cholesterol levels by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. This reduces the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, while slightly increasing HDL (good cholesterol).
- Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent that prevents platelets (a type of blood cell) from sticking together and forming harmful clots. This reduces the risk of blockages in arteries, especially after heart surgery or in patients with prior heart attacks.
Together, these actions reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by keeping the arteries clear and blood flowing smoothly.
