An antiplatelet medication that helps prevent blood clots by inhibiting platelet aggregation.
Reduction of cardiovascular events (such as heart attack, stroke, or death) in patients with a history of coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease.
Reduction of cardiovascular events in patients with high cholesterol and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Rosuvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. Clopidogrel inhibits the activation of platelets, thus reducing the risk of clot formation. The combination therapy reduces both cholesterol levels and the risk of blood clots.
