Aztor ASP 150 Capsule is taken orally.

Aztor ASP 150 Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Aspirin (150 mg): This ingredient acts as a blood thinner, preventing clot formation. It does so by irreversibly inhibiting platelet aggregation through acetylating platelet cyclooxygenase and blocking thromboxane A2 synthesis, which is crucial for the formation of blood clots.

• Atorvastatin (10 mg): Belonging to the family of statins, atorvastatin selectively and competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in cholesterol biosynthesis within your body. It increases LDL receptors on hepatocyte surfaces, enhancing uptake and catabolism of LDL and thus reducing LDL production.

• Store Aztor ASP 150 Capsule in a cool, dry place.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep the container tightly shut.

• Keep the medication out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• Incorporate a low-fat, heart-healthy diet into your daily routine. This can aid in lowering cholesterol levels, complementing the action of atorvastatin present in Aztor ASP 150 Capsule.

• Regular moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, can help manage high cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
