Information about Ecosprin AV 75/20 Capsule

Ecosprin AV 75/20 Capsule is a combination medication used primarily for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. It contains two active ingredients:

1. Aspirin (75 mg): An antiplatelet agent that helps prevent the formation of blood clots by inhibiting the aggregation of platelets.
2. Atorvastatin (20 mg): A statin that helps lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in the production of cholesterol in the liver.
