Mechanism of Action

Ecosprin Gold 10 combines three distinct pharmacological actions. Aspirin acts as an antiplatelet agent (a medicine that prevents blood cells from sticking together) by irreversibly inhibiting the COX-1 enzyme. Clopidogrel acts as an antiplatelet agent. It works by blocking the P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate receptor found on platelets.

Together, aspirin + atorvastatin + clopidogrel provide synergistic protection against thrombus (blood clot) formation.

Atorvastatin acts as an antihyperlipidemic (a drug that lowers blood cholesterol levels). Atorvastatin inhibits an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is found in the liver, where it helps produce cholesterol. This action lowers low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) and stabilises arterial plaques.

Clinical Uses

Your doctor will recommend this combination for specific cardiovascular indications:

• Prevention of secondary myocardial infarction (heart attack).
• Management of acute coronary syndrome (sudden reduced blood flow to the heart).
• Prevention of ischemic stroke (brain injury caused by blocked blood vessels).
• Maintenance of patency after coronary artery stent placement.

Safety Information
