DEPLATT-CV 20 TABLET

Deplatt-CV 20 Capsule is used for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. It also lowers the raised level of cholesterol in our body. A heart attack generally refers to a blocked flow of blood to the heart due to the blockage of arteries. The blockage is most often a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).

Deplatt-CV 20 Capsule is composed of three medicines namely: Atorvastatin, Clopidogrel and Aspirin. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make cholesterol in the body. It reduces the bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoproteins or LDL) and triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Clopidogrel and Aspirin are blood thinners (anticoagulants) that collectively prevent the formation of a clot in the blood vessels. It also helps to reduce the increased levels of bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides). Together Deplatt-CV 20 Capsule help to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart-related chest pain (angina).

Deplatt-CV 20 Capsule is composed of three medicines namely: Atorvastatin (lipid or cholesterol-lowering medicine), Aspirin (analgesic and anticoagulant) and Clopidogrel (anticoagulant). Together they help in lowering increased bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein – LDL) and raise good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein – HDL). This, in turn, prevents the formation of blood clots and plaque (cholesterol) deposited in the walls of heart arteries thereby minimizing the risk of cardiovascular heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.
