Medical Description

Atorva Asp 75 Capsule is a combination medication. It is used to prevent heart attacks and strokes. It is also used to treat high cholesterol levels (dyslipidemia) in the body. It contains the cholesterol-lowering medication atorvastatin as well as a low dose of aspirin, which acts as a blood thinner. This works by lowering the formation of cholesterol and inhibiting the formation of blood clots. As a result, this medication helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Cholesterol is a lipid found in the blood. Imbalanced or elevated cholesterol frequently results in the formation of plaques inside arteries, narrowing them. This restricts blood flow and can result in the formation of blood clots and associated conditions such as heart attack and stroke.

While taking this medication, you can improve your health by quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, getting regular exercise and eating a healthy balanced diet. You should also avoid high-fat, fried or junk food. Some other capsules containing the same active molecules are Aztor Asp 75mg, Ecosprin AV 75 capsule and Lipikind As 10/75mg.

Atorva Asp 75 Capsule should be taken for the duration prescribed by your doctor. Do not discontinue this medication on your own. For best results, take Atorva Asp 75 Capsule at the same time every day. Inform your doctor about your entire medical history before beginning treatment.
