Ecosprin AV 150/20 Capsule combines two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (150 mg): This component works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in your body, which leads to blocking thromboxane A2 synthesis. As a result, it prevents platelets, tiny blood cells that help in clotting, from sticking together and forming harmful clots that can trigger serious cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes.
• Atorvastatin (20 mg): This ingredient belongs to the statin group of medicines. It competes with HMG-CoA reductase—an enzyme playing a key role in cholesterol production—thus reducing its activity. By lowering LDL production and increasing LDL receptor activity, atorvastatin effectively brings down total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides while making a modest increase in HDL cholesterol levels.

• Keep the Ecosprin AV 150/20 Capsule in a tightly closed container.

• Since Ecosprin AV 150/20 Capsule is used to manage heart diseases, try to incorporate heart-friendly foods in your diet. Opt for whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables, and limit your intake of saturated fats and sodium.
• Regular physical activity is crucial. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise like brisk walking on most days of the week. But remember, always consult your doctor before starting any new fitness programme.
