CONSIVAS ASP TABLET 10'S

How CONSIVAS ASP TABLET 10'S Works

• CONSIVAS ASP TABLET 10'S is a combination medication containing Aspirin and Atorvastatin, each contributing uniquely to its overall effect. Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and an antiplatelet agent. Atorvastatin belongs to a class of drugs called statins, or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
• Aspirin works primarily by inhibiting the production of thromboxane A2, a substance that causes platelets to aggregate and form blood clots. Platelets are small, colorless cell fragments in the blood that play a crucial role in clotting. By suppressing thromboxane A2, Aspirin reduces platelet aggregation, thus preventing the formation of unwanted blood clots. This action is particularly beneficial in individuals at risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes, where blood clots can obstruct blood flow to the heart or brain.
• Atorvastatin functions by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is essential for the production of cholesterol in the liver. By inhibiting this enzyme, Atorvastatin reduces the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver. This leads to a decrease in the levels of LDL cholesterol (often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol) in the bloodstream. Lowering LDL cholesterol levels helps to prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries, a process known as atherosclerosis. Furthermore, Atorvastatin can also increase levels of HDL cholesterol (often referred to as 'good' cholesterol), which helps remove cholesterol from the arteries.
• The combined action of Aspirin and Atorvastatin in CONSIVAS ASP TABLET 10'S provides a dual approach to cardiovascular protection. Aspirin helps to prevent blood clot formation, while Atorvastatin helps to lower cholesterol levels and prevent plaque buildup in the arteries. This combination is particularly effective in individuals with a high risk of cardiovascular events, such as those with a history of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. The medicine should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider.
• CONSIVAS ASP TABLET 10'S is typically prescribed for long-term use to maintain cardiovascular health. It's important to take the medication regularly as prescribed and to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoidance of smoking, to maximize its benefits. Regular check-ups with your doctor are also necessary to monitor cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular health.
