Atorec Gold 10 Tab

Tablet

Prevention of heart attack and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome (as advised), post-angioplasty/stent placement, high cholesterol with high cardiovascular risk

Atorvastatin reduces LDL cholesterol by inhibiting HMG‑CoA reductase and stabilizes atherosclerotic plaques. Aspirin and clopidogrel reduce platelet aggregation by inhibiting COX-1 (thromboxane A2) and blocking P2Y12 receptors respectively, lowering clot formation risk.

Take orally exactly as prescribed, usually once daily. Swallow tablet whole with water; do not crush/chew (enteric-coated component). Can be taken with or without food; take at the same time each day.

Stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, easy bruising, nosebleed, bleeding gums, muscle pain, elevated liver enzymes

Increases bleeding risk; seek urgent care for black stools, vomiting blood, unusual bleeding/bruising. Inform doctor before surgery/dental procedures. Use caution in peptic ulcer disease, bleeding disorders, uncontrolled hypertension, liver disease, history of stroke/brain bleed. Statin may cause muscle injury; report unexplained muscle pain/weakness especially with fever or dark urine. Avoid in active liver disease; periodic liver function monitoring may be needed. Do not stop antiplatelets without medical advice, especially after stent.

Other anticoagulants/antiplatelets (warfarin, heparin, DOACs, ticagrelor) – bleeding; NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen) – bleeding and reduced aspirin effect (ibuprofen timing issue); SSRIs/SNRIs – bleeding; strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (clarithromycin, erythromycin, azole antifungals, HIV protease inhibitors) – increased atorvastatin levels/myopathy; fibrates (gemfibrozil), niacin – myopathy; cyclosporine – increased statin exposure; grapefruit juice – increased atorvastatin; PPIs/omeprazole may reduce clopidogrel activation (prefer pantoprazole if needed).

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep in original blister pack and out of reach of children.
