Novastat Asp 10mg/75mg Capsule

Product Introduction

Novastat Asp 10mg/75mg Capsule is a pharmaceutical formulation that combines two active ingredients: Atorvastatin (10mg) and Aspirin (75mg). Atorvastatin belongs to the class of statins, which are cholesterol-lowering medications. It works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, thereby reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver and enhancing the liver’s ability to remove LDL cholesterol from the blood. Aspirin, on the other hand, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antiplatelet properties, which means it helps prevent blood clot formation.

Uses of Novastat Asp 10mg/75mg Capsule

Novastat Asp 10mg/75mg Capsule is primarily prescribed for the following conditions:

• Hypercholesterolemia: It is used to lower elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (commonly known as “bad” cholesterol), and triglycerides in the blood.
• Cardiovascular Protection: The combination of Atorvastatin and Aspirin provides cardiovascular benefits by reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Atorvastatin lowers cholesterol levels, which are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, while Aspirin prevents blood clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes.

Benefits of Novastat Asp 10mg/75mg Capsule

• Cholesterol Management: Atorvastatin helps in effectively reducing LDL cholesterol levels, thereby decreasing the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events.
• Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: Aspirin’s antiplatelet action reduces the risk of blood clots forming in blood vessels, thus lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• Convenience: Combining both medications into a single capsule enhances patient compliance by reducing the number of separate medications needed to achieve cholesterol and cardiovascular protection goals.

Side Effects of Novastat Asp 10mg/75mg Capsule

While Novastat Asp 10mg/75mg Capsule is generally well-tolerated, like all medications, it may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include:

• Gastrointestinal Issues: Mild stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, or constipation.
• Muscle Pain: Some patients may experience muscle pain or weakness, although severe muscle problems are rare.
• Liver Enzyme Abnormalities: Atorvastatin may cause transient elevations in liver enzymes, which are usually reversible and not associated with liver damage.
• Bleeding: Aspirin’s antiplatelet effects may lead to an increased risk of bleeding, particularly gastrointestinal bleeding or bruising.
