Lipikind-Plus Capsule 15's

Lipikind-Plus Capsule 15's is a combination drug of blood-thinning agents and cholesterol-lowering agents, primarily taken 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).

Lipikind-Plus Capsule 15's 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), triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Clopidogrel and Aspirin are blood thinners (anticoagulant) 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 Lipikind-Plus Capsule 15's help to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart-related chest pain (angina).

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.
