Atorlip ASP-20 Capsule works effectively due to the combined actions of its two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): This ingredient works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, which is involved in cholesterol production. By decreasing levels of 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, atorvastatin helps prevent plaque build-up in the arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Atorvastatin also aids in increasing 'good' cholesterol (HDL) levels, which helps in removing excess cholesterol from blood vessels and transporting it back to the liver for disposal.
• Aspirin (75 mg): Aspirin inhibits the formation of blood clots by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase. This enzyme is necessary for the creation of a substance called thromboxane A2 in platelets, which encourages platelet aggregation. By blocking its production, aspirin reduces the chance of heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, aspirin reduces inflammation in the blood vessels, providing cardioprotective benefits.

• Store the Atorlip ASP-20 Capsule in a cool, dry place.

• A diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol can help manage high cholesterol levels, hence it's recommended to include more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet while taking Atorlip ASP-20 Capsule.
• Regular physical activity like walking, cycling, or swimming can also help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease. Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen.
