Atorzux Av 75 Capsule 15 is taken orally.

Atorzux Av 75 Capsule 15 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.

• Keep Atorzux Av 75 Capsule 15 in its original packaging until ready to use.

• Store it at a controlled room temperature of 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect the medicine from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Ensure it is kept out of reach of children.

• Since this medicine is used to manage cardiovascular conditions, adopt a heart-friendly diet. This involves reducing the intake of foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol, such as red meat and full-fat dairy products, which can increase cholesterol levels.

• Regular physical activity helps improve heart health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, most days of the week, but consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
