Durastat Asp 10/75 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (10 mg): As a statin, atorvastatin selectively blocks an enzyme essential for creating cholesterol. By blocking this process in the liver, atorvastatin reduces blood cholesterol levels and increases the number of hepatic LDL receptors on cell surfaces. This results in enhanced uptake and breakdown of LDL, reducing the number of LDL particles in the body.

• Aspirin (75 mg): Aspirin, a salicylate, primarily works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. This results in reduced platelet aggregation, reducing the likelihood of clots forming due to platelets.
