Atorec ASP Capsule is a combination of blood thinners and cholesterol lowering agents. It is mainly used to prevent heart attack and stroke. Atorec ASP Capsule also reduces elevated bad cholesterol levels (especially in people at high risk for heart disease). A heart attack is caused by a blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This blockage is usually caused by a buildup of fat, cholesterol, and other substances in the arteries that supply the heart (the coronary arteries).

Usage instructions-

• Make sure you take Atorec ASP Capsule in the amount and for as long as your doctor tells you to. You can have this medicine with food.

How it works-

Atorvastatin helps prevent heart attack and stroke by blocking an enzyme in the body that produces cholesterol. It lowers LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and raises HDL cholesterol. Aspirin is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) that has anti-platelet activity. It stops the platelets from clumping together and reduces the risk of blood clots.
