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)

• Reduces risk of atherosclerosis (hardening/narrowing of arteries)

• Prevents recurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with a history of heart disease or stroke

How to Use

• Take the capsule orally with water, usually once daily, at the same time each day.

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Follow a cholesterol-lowering diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle modifications along with the medicine.

• Do not stop abruptly unless advised by your doctor.

Side Effects

Common side effects:

• Indigestion, acidity, nausea, stomach discomfort

• Headache, dizziness

• Muscle pain, joint pain

• Signs of internal bleeding (black stools, vomiting blood, unusual nosebleeds)

• Liver problems (yellow eyes/skin, persistent nausea, dark urine)

• Severe allergic reactions

Precautions

• Avoid alcohol as it increases risk of liver injury and stomach bleeding.

• Not safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
