Ecosprin Av 75mg Strip Of 15 Capsules
Medical Description
Ecosprin AV 75 capsule is a combination medicine. It is used to prevent heart attacks and strokes. It is also used to treat abnormal cholesterol levels (dyslipidemia) in the body. It contains cholest
erol-lowering medicine atorvastatin and a low dose of aspirin that acts as a blood thinner. This works by reducing the formation of cholesterol and inhibiting the formation of blood clots. Thereby this medicine helps prevent heart attack and stroke. Cholesterol is a lipid substance found in the blood. Imbalance or increased cholesterol often leads to the formation of plaques inside arteries and makes them narrow. This restricts the blood flow and can lead to the formation of blood clots and associated conditions such as heart attack and stroke. While taking this medicine, you can incorporate certain lifestyle modifications to boost your health, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, regular exercise and eating a healthy balanced diet. You should also avoid consuming high-fat, fried or junk meals. Ecosprin AV 75 capsules should be taken as your doctor advises for the prescribed duration. Do not stop taking this medicine on your own. Take Ecosprin AV at the same time every day for better results. Before initiating the treatment, inform your doctor about your complete medical history.
