Product Description

Atorvastatin 10mg & Aspirin 150mg Capsules IP is used for the prevention of heart attack and stroke. It also lowers the raised level of bad cholesterol (especially those who are at high risk of heart disease). A heart attack generally refers to a blocked flow of blood to the heart due to the blockage of arteries. The blockage is most often a build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries).

Atorvastatin 10mg & Aspirin 150mg Capsules are composed of two medicines, namely Atorvastatin and Aspirin. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication which 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). It increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Aspirin is a blood thinner or antiplatelet (anticoagulant) that collectively prevents the formation of clots in the blood vessels. Together, Atorvastatin 10mg & Aspirin 150mg Capsules help to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-related chest pain (angina). Additionally, it is also given to patients who have had a recent heart bypass surgery (CABG) to control the level of cholesterol and prevent blood clots.
