How CREVAST GOLD 20MG CAPSULE Works

CREVAST GOLD 20MG CAPSULE effectively improves cardiac function and reduces the
risk of heart problems, where clopidogrel acts by inhibiting platelet
aggregation in the coronary arteries, aspirin acts by blocking the actions of an
enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase which is believed to be responsible for catalyzing
the synthesis of platelets and rosuvastatin acts by inhibiting the action of an
enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is required to catalyze the formation of
cholesterol, thus managing clot or plaque formation in the coronary arteries
leading to an uninterrupted supply of oxygen and blood to the heart.
