Atorvastatin 20 mg + Aspirin 75 mg capsules are a prescription combination medication used to prevent heart attacks and strokes by lowering “bad” cholesterol and preventing blood clots.
Key Information
  • Active Ingredients: Each capsule contains Atorvastatin (20 mg), a statin (cholesterol-lowering agent), and Aspirin (75 mg, as an antiplatelet agent/blood thinner).
  • Uses: It is prescribed to individuals with high cholesterol or a history of heart disease to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-related chest pain (angina). It is also used after certain procedures like angioplasty or stent placement.
  • Administration: The capsule should be taken regularly at the same time each day, as advised by a doctor. Taking it with food can help prevent stomach upset. Do not stop taking the medication abruptly, as this can increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
