Atorvatin Ap 20/150 Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): This is a statin that works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your liver. This enzyme is responsible for producing cholesterol in your body. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin effectively reduces the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad cholesterol) and triglycerides while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL or good cholesterol) in your blood.

• Aspirin (150 mg): This component works as an antiplatelet agent by preventing platelets from sticking together and forming blood clots in your arteries. It reduces the stickiness of platelets, small blood cells that can block arteries and lead to heart attacks or strokes.

• Store Atorvatin Ap 20/150 Capsule 10 at room temperature in a dry place.

• Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Maintain the capsules in their original packaging until it's time to take them.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Do not use the medicine after its expiry date.

• Heart health: Follow a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol by choosing lean meats, fish, and plenty of fruits and vegetables to support the cholesterol-lowering effects of atorvastatin in this medicine.

• Blood clot prevention: Maintain regular physical activity, such as a 30-minute daily walk, which helps improve circulation and works alongside the antiplatelet (blood-thinning) action of aspirin in this medicine.
