Atorvatin AP 20/75 Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (75 mg): This component acts as a blood thinner and prevents blood clots from forming and growing larger. This action helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

• Atorvastatin (20 mg): This ingredient falls under the statin category of medicines. It works by decreasing the liver's production of cholesterol, which effectively reduces bad LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels in your body. It also helps raise good HDL cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.

These two components work together within this capsule to provide comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction when taken as prescribed alongside a heart-healthy lifestyle.
