Composition

Aspirin (75 Mg) + Atorvastatin (10 Mg)

Lipvas Asp 10 Capsule 10 is primarily used to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with cardiovascular disease. This combination medicine is part of a group of statins and antiplatelet medicines.

In addition to its primary use, this medicine has several other benefits. The atorvastatin component helps lower total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B while raising HDL cholesterol. It also aids in reducing risks associated with myocardial infarction, stroke, and revascularization procedures. The aspirin component helps reduce atherothrombotic events and prevents blood clots after a recent heart attack or stroke.

Before you begin this medicine, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine. If you notice any side effects, notify your doctor immediately. For best results, continue taking the medicine for the duration your doctor prescribes.

Side Effects of Lipvas Asp 10 Capsule 10

Taking Lipvas Asp 10 Capsule 10 may result in several side effects, including:

Headache
Diarrhoea
Joint pain
Pain in extremities

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and they resolve when you discontinue using Lipvas Asp 10 Capsule 10. However, if you experience serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are a couple of ways to manage common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Consider taking Lipvas Asp 10 Capsule 10 with food to help manage this side effect.
Dyspepsia: If you experience indigestion, taking this medicine after meals might be beneficial.

Lipvas Asp 10 Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

Atorvastatin (10 mg): This ingredient belongs to the class of statins. It works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is important in producing cholesterol in your body. By doing so, atorvastatin increases LDL receptors on liver cell membranes, resulting in increased uptake and breakdown of LDL cholesterol, ultimately lowering plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein levels.
Aspirin (75 mg): It belongs to the antiplatelet therapeutic group. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes in platelets, reducing the production of thromboxane A2, which promotes platelet aggregation. By decreasing platelet aggregation, aspirin helps prevent the formation of blood clots, offering cardioprotective benefits and reducing the risk of heart attack and ischemic stroke.

Pregnancy

Lipvas Asp 10 Capsule 10 is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, ensure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding
