C10BX15 • atorvastatin + perindopril • Cardiovascular system | Lipid modifying agents, combinations | Lipid modifying agents in combination with other drugs

Atorvastatin and perindopril are used together to treat cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure and to prevent coronary artery disease. This combination helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, by addressing multiple risk factors simultaneously.

Atorvastatin is a statin medication used to lower 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing 'good' cholesterol (HDL). By reducing cholesterol levels, atorvastatin helps prevent the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries.

Perindopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to lower blood pressure and improve heart function. It works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby reducing the strain on the heart and improving blood flow.

This combination is recommended for patients at high cardiovascular risk but should be used as directed by a healthcare provider, as it may cause side effects such as dizziness, muscle pain, or a dry cough.
