MECHANISM OF ACTION
ROSUVASTATIN- Rosuvastatin works by slowing the production of cholestrol in the body to decrease the omount of cholestrol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other of the body.
ASPIRIN-Aspirin ability to supress the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes is due to its irrversible inactivation of the cyclogenase (Cox)enzyme. Cyclogenase (Cox)is required for prostaglandian and thromboxane synthesis. Aspirin chemically react with Cox irreversibly disabling enzymes and reduces the production of prostaglandin inturns reduce the inflammations.
CLOPIDOGREL- Clopidogrel works by preventing platelets, which is a type of blood cell,from forming clots. Ablood clot which forms inside a blood vessel , can cut off blood supply to the heart or brain which would cause a heart attacks or stroke. Clopidogrel may cause an individual to blood or bruise easily. Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication and sometimes called a “blood-thinner”.
