Mechanism of Action of Atorvastatin Gold-20 Clopidogrel & Aspirin Capsules
Atorvastatin: Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, thereby reducing LDL cholesterol levels and increasing HDL cholesterol levels.
Clopidogrel: Inhibits platelet aggregation by irreversibly binding to the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing activation and subsequent clot formation.
Aspirin: Inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that promotes platelet aggregation.
