Description
Stator Asp 150 Capsule is a fixed-dose combination medicine that contains Atorvastatin (10mg), a cholesterol-lowering statin, and Aspirin (150mg), an antiplatelet agent. This dual-action medicine is widely prescribed for patients who are at high risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.
-
Atorvastatin (10mg): Reduces “bad cholesterol” (LDL, triglycerides) and increases “good cholesterol” (HDL), helping to prevent plaque build-up in blood vessels.
-
Aspirin (150mg): Works as a blood thinner by preventing platelets from clumping together, thus reducing the risk of blood clots that may block arteries.
Uses
-
Prevention of heart attack and stroke in high-risk patients

Treatment of dyslipidemia (high cholesterol)
