About Polytorva 2.5 mg Capsule Kit 1's
Polytorva 2.5 mg Capsule Kit 1's is a combination drug of blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering agents and blood pressure-lowering agents primarily used to prevent heart attack and stroke. Besides this, it also lowers the raised level of bad cholesterol (especially for those at high risk of heart disease). 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 build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).
Polytorva 2.5 mg Capsule Kit 1's is composed of three medicines: Atorvastatin, Ramipril, and Aspirin. Atorvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make fat 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). Aspirin is blood thinners or antiplatelet (anticoagulant) that collectively prevent clots in the blood vessels. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE inhibitor that lowers increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II that tightens your blood vessels, thereby relaxing blood vessels in the body and reducing overload on the heart to pump more blood. Together Polytorva 2.5 mg Capsule Kit 1'sminimisess the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-related chest pain (angina).

Disease/Condition Glossary
Heart attack: 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 build-up of fat, cholesterol, and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).
Stroke: Stroke occurs when the blood and oxygen supply to the brain is limited or stopped. When the brain does not receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients, it starts dying within a few minutes. If not treated early, it is a life-threatening condition that can lead to brain damage, coma, and even death.
