ATORY 10 AP
Product Description
ATORY 10 AP tablet contains ATORVASTATIN + ASPIRIN, a cardioprotective combination of a statin and antiplatelet medicine used to prevent heart attack, stroke, and artery-related complications. It is commonly prescribed in people with high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, angina, diabetes with cardiovascular risk, previous heart attack, or post-angioplasty/stent care. The atorvastatin component lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides, while the aspirin component helps prevent platelet clumping and clot formation inside arteries. ATORY 10 AP tablet is usually available in strengths such as 10 mg/75 mg, 20 mg/75 mg, and 40 mg/75 mg, with the exact ATORY 10 AP dosage based on LDL targets and bleeding risk. Regular use helps reduce plaque progression and lowers the risk of repeat cardiovascular events.
Pharmacist Note
Take ATORY 10 AP tablet with or after food, preferably at the same time every day, often after dinner or as advised by your doctor. Do not stop it suddenly, especially if prescribed after a heart attack or stent, as this may increase clot risk. Report muscle pain, dark urine, black stools, vomiting blood, or yellowing of the eyes immediately.
