Uses of Pritorva Cv 10 Capsule

Prevention of blood clots (thrombotic events) after acute coronary syndrome (heart attack/unstable angina) and after coronary stent placement (PCI); helps reduce risk of heart attack and stroke in eligible patients.

How Pritorva Cv 10 Capsule works

Aspirin irreversibly inhibits COX-1 in platelets, reducing thromboxane A2 and platelet aggregation. Prasugrel is a P2Y12 (ADP) receptor inhibitor that prevents platelet activation and aggregation. Together they provide dual antiplatelet action to reduce clot formation.
