About Modlip ASG 20 Capsule

Modlip ASG 20 Capsule is a combination medication used for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. It also lowers raised bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein - LDL) and triglyceride (TG) levels. Heart attack refers to blocked blood flow to the heart due to blockage of arteries. The blockage is mostly a build-up of cholesterol, fat, and other substances that form a plaque in the arteries which feed the heart (coronary arteries). A stroke occurs due to blocked blood flow to the brain.

Modlip ASG 20 Capsule is a combination of three drugs, namely: Atorvastatin (lipid-lowering agent), Glycine (protein), and Aspirin (blood thinner). Atorvastatin belongs to the class of lipid-lowering medicines called statins, or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors that work by inhibiting a chemical messenger called HMG-CoA reductase enzyme that produces cholesterol in the liver. Glycine belongs to the class of proteins (amino acids) required for the healthy development of muscles, tissues, and skeleton. Thus, it minimizes the side effects caused due to atorvastatin, like muscle pain and muscle weakness. Aspirin is a pain killer (analgesic) and blood thinner, preventing blood clots, thereby minimizing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Thus, Modlip ASG 20 Capsule is prescribed to the patients who have undergone recent heart bypass surgery to minimize the risk of future heart attack and stroke.

Medicinal Benefits

Modlip ASG 20 Capsule is a combination of three drugs, namely: Atorvastatin, Glycine, and Aspirin. Atorvastatin belongs to the class of lipid-lowering medicines that decrease the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) by the liver.
