Product introduction
Ecosprin Gold 10 Capsule packs three heart medicines into one capsule: two blood-thinning (antiplatelet) agents and a cholesterol-lowering statin. It is prescribed for people with heart disease who need clot protection and cholesterol control together, so they can take fewer separate tablets each day.
Storage: Store below 30°C in the original sealed pack, away from moisture and sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.

How Ecosprin Gold 10 Capsule works
Aspirin and clopidogrel act on platelets in different ways to stop them from sticking together and forming clots. Atorvastatin blocks an enzyme the liver needs to make cholesterol, which lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and nudges HDL cholesterol upward.
