How Aspirin + Atorvastatin works
- Aspirin is classified as an antiplatelet agent, exerting its effects by inhibiting platelet aggregation and mitigating the risk of thrombus formation.
- Atorvastatin is categorised as a statin, a class of lipid-regulating medications designed to lower circulating levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. It is prescribed when dietary and lifestyle modifications prove insufficient in achieving lipid control. Additionally, for individuals at an elevated risk of heart disease, atorvastatin may be utilised to proactively mitigate such risks, even in the presence of normal cholesterol levels.
