Stator Asp 75 Capsule (Atorvastatin 10mg/Aspirin 75mg)

Stator Asp 75 Capsule (Atorvastatin 10mg/Aspirin 75mg)

Stator Asp 75mg Capsule is a combination of Aspirin and Atorvastatin. It is used to normalize cholesterol and fat levels when there is an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. High cholesterol levels get accumulated in the blood vessels and lead to narrowing or blockage of vessels. These blockages may damage the inner line of the vessels leading to the formation of clots which leads to a heart attack.

Stator Asp 75 Capsule blocks the formation of cholesterol in the body and also breaks down the harmful clots. In case you have undergone heart surgery or having a history of stroke, you are at higher risk of developing clots in the blood vessels.

The common side effects of Stator Asp 75 Capsule use are stomach pain, indigestion and constipation. These side effects subside on their own as your body starts adapting to this medicine. Consult your doctor if any side effects persist or worsen. It is recommended that you avoid taking this medicine if you are allergic to it.

Stator Asp 75mg Capsule increases your risk of bleeding, therefore caution should be maintained while using sharp objects. Your doctor may check your cholesterol levels and liver function before starting the treatment and regularly thereafter. Inform your doctor if you notice signs of liver problems such as stomach pain, unusually dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes.

Stator Asp 75mg Capsule can be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach. Even if there is an improvement in your health condition, do not stop this medicine on your own. It is recommended not to skip the Stator Asp 75mg Capsule dose and avoid an overdose of this medicine.

To make sure Stator Asp 75 Capsule is safe for you, share your entire medical and medication history with your doctor. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or are breastfeeding.

Uses of Stator Asp 75 Capsule
What is it prescribed for?
Heart attack/Stroke
A heart attack occurs is due to increased levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) or fats (triglycerides) and decreased levels of good cholesterol (HDL). High cholesterol and fats are responsible for the formation of plaque. The plaque in the blood vessels (brains’ coronary artery, heart’s carotid artery, etc) leads to narrowing or blockage of that vessel. Stator Asp 75 Capsule is used to lower down the cholesterol and fats levels and also breaks down the plaques, thus minimizing the risk of heart attack or stroke.
