Medicinal Benefits:
Polykaa 10 mg/75 mg/5 mg Kit is a combination drug of a blood-thinning agent (aspirin), cholesterol-lowering agent (atorvastatin) and blood pressure-lowering agent (ramipril) primarily taken to prevent heart attack and stroke in people with heart problems. It also lowers the raised level of bad cholesterol (especially for those at high risk of heart disease). Additionally, it is also given to patients who had a recent heart bypass surgery to control cholesterol levels and prevent blood clots. Polykaa 10 mg/75 mg/5 mg Kit is composed of three medicines: Atorvastatin, Ramipril, and Aspirin. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make cholesterol in the body. It reduces the bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoproteins or LDL) and triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Aspirin is blood thinners or antiplatelet (anticoagulant) that collectively prevent clots in the blood vessels. Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE inhibitor that lower increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and helps lower high blood pressure. Together Polykaa 10 mg/75 mg/5 mg Kit reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-related chest pain (angina).
