This page explains what happens if Atorvastatin and Clopidogrel are taken together, according to official sources.
Competitive CYP3A4 interaction; monitor cardiovascular protection
Atorvastatin competes for CYP3A4, which bioactivates clopidogrel; although clinical significance varies, standard cardiac monitoring is advised.
Commonly co-prescribed post-ACS. If hyporesponsiveness to clopidogrel is suspected, consider switching to rosuvastatin or pravastatin.
