Side Effects of Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule 15

While taking Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule, you may experience some common side effects, such as:

Indigestion
Nausea
Diarrhoea
Headache
Bleeding

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless and resolve upon discontinuing the use of Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are a couple of guidelines for managing common side effects:

Indigestion: Try taking Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule after meals to lessen this effect.
Diarrhoea: To manage this, consider taking the medicine with food.

Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule contains two active ingredients:

Aspirin (150 mg): This component works by permanently blocking an enzyme known as COX-1. As a result, it reduces the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that causes blood platelets to stick together, potentially forming clots. By doing so, aspirin helps prevent blood clot formation that could lead to heart attacks or strokes.
Rosuvastatin (20 Mg): Rosuvastatin is part of a group of medicines called statins. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme critical to cholesterol production in the body. With less cholesterol being produced, and an increase in LDL receptors, rosuvastatin effectively lowers LDL-C, or "bad" cholesterol levels, total cholesterol and triglycerides while slightly increasing HDL-C or "good" cholesterol levels. This action helps slow down the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of arteries).

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, caution is advised while taking Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule. Consult your doctor to evaluate the potential risks and benefits before using this medication.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding mothers should discuss the use of Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule with their doctor, as some components may pass into breast milk and affect the infant.

Alcohol

Alcohol consumption can interfere with the effectiveness of Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule and increase the risk of side effects. Consult your doctor about any potential interactions and avoid alcohol while on this medication.

Liver

Patients with liver problems should use this medication with caution. Rosuvastatin, a component of the capsule, may affect liver function. It is recommended to consult your doctor, who may suggest liver function tests before starting or during treatment.

Kidney

If you have kidney issues, inform your doctor before starting Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule. Adjustments to dosage or additional monitoring may be required to avoid potential complications.

Using Machines & Driving

Some individuals may experience dizziness or drowsiness while taking Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how this medication affects you.

Allergy

Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule should not be taken if you have known allergies to aspirin, and rosuvastatin, or any other ingredients in the formulation. Discuss alternative options with your doctor if you have a history of allergic reactions.

Children

This medicine is generally not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age. Only use under a doctor’s supervision if prescribed for younger patients.

Older Patients

Older adults may be more sensitive to the effects of Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule, particularly if they have existing liver or kidney conditions or are taking multiple medications. Close monitoring by a healthcare provider is advised.

Interactions of Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule 15

Drug-Drug Interactions

Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule interacts with the following medicines:

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): When taken together, NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen may increase the risk of bleeding due to aspirin's antiplatelet effect.
Anticoagulants: Medicines such as warfarin and heparin used to prevent blood clots can have their effects intensified, increasing the risk of bleeding.
Fibrates and Niacin: These lipid-lowering medicines can increase the risk of muscle toxicity when used alongside rosuvastatin.

Drug-Food Interactions

Certain foods can interact with Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule:

Grapefruit Juice: It can increase rosuvastatin levels in the body, enhancing potential side effects.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule interacts with the following diseases:

Liver Disease: The medication should be used cautiously in patients with severe liver disease, as all three components are extensively metabolised in the liver.
Renal Impairment: Patients with severe kidney disease may require dose adjustments, particularly for rosuvastatin.
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Patients with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding should exercise caution due to the antiplatelet effects of aspirin.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule should be taken as advised by your doctor. The dosage could vary based on individual factors like the severity of the condition and how you respond to the medicine. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and avoid exceeding it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more than the recommended dose of Atorvee Ap 20/150 Capsule, you might feel nauseous or have a headache. If these symptoms persist or worsen, immediately inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to take your regular dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your usual dosage schedule. Don't increase your dosage without discussing it with your doctor.
