Description
Aztor Asp 75 Capsule is a prescription medicine manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. It combines two cardiovascular medicines:
-
Atorvastatin (10mg): A statin that lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing good cholesterol (HDL), helping prevent plaque buildup in arteries.

Aspirin (75mg): An antiplatelet agent that prevents platelets from clumping together, reducing the risk of blood clot formation.
