Use with caution in patients with hepatic or severe renal impairment; dose adjustments or alternative therapy may be required. Contraindicated in active bleeding, severe liver disease, or hypersensitivity to components. Always follow physician guidance for individual patient needs.

Mechanism of action

Aspirin irreversibly inhibits COX-1, reducing thromboxane A2 and platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel blocks the P2Y12 ADP receptor on platelets, inhibiting activation and aggregation. Atorvastatin competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, decreasing cholesterol synthesis and upregulating LDL receptors, lowering plasma LDL cholesterol. Together, they reduce atherothrombotic risk.
