Torvagino ASP 75/40 Capsule is taken orally.

Torvagino ASP 75/40 Capsule contains two active ingredients that work together:

• Aspirin (75 mg): This medicine works by permanently blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inside platelets, which are small blood cells that help form clots. By blocking COX-1, aspirin stops the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that makes platelets stick together and blood vessels narrow. This action reduces the formation of harmful blood clots inside diseased arteries and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke.
• Atorvastatin (40 mg): This medicine works by blocking an enzyme in the liver called HMG-CoA reductase, which controls cholesterol production. By reducing cholesterol made inside liver cells, atorvastatin prompts the liver to remove more low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly known as bad cholesterol, from the bloodstream, thereby lowering blood cholesterol levels and slowing the growth of fatty deposits in blood vessels.
