- Used to support heart health and manage cholesterol levels
How ECOSPRIN AV 75/40 CAPSULE Works
1. Composition & Mechanism
- Aspirin: Helps in maintaining blood flow by acting on platelet function
- Atorvastatin: Assists in cholesterol management by reducing LDL levels
The combined mechanism for cardiovascular health support in ECOSPRIN AV 75/40 is based on the synergistic action of two active ingredients: Atorvastatin and Aspirin.
- Atorvastatin is a statin that works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver. This leads to lower levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while increasing “good” HDL cholesterol, thereby helping to maintain open, flexible blood vessels and reduce atherosclerotic plaque buildup
- Aspirin, in its low-dose form, acts as an antiplatelet agent. It inhibits the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme, which lowers the production of thromboxane, a substance that promotes platelet aggregation (clot formation). By reducing platelet clumping, aspirin improves blood flow, decreases the risk of clots, and further protects against arterial blockages that can cause heart attacks or strokes.
