Tonact-ASP 75 Capsule

Introduction

Tonact-ASP 75 Capsule is a combination medication primarily used for managing high cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. It contains atorvastatin, a statin that helps lower cholesterol, and aspirin, an anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning agent. The combination of these two ingredients helps to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol while also preventing blood clot formation, offering benefits for individuals with heart disease or those at high risk of cardiovascular problems.

Uses of Tonact-ASP 75 Capsule

Tonact-ASP 75 Capsule is used to treat the following conditions:

• High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), particularly in individuals with elevated LDL cholesterol levels.
• Prevention of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack, stroke, or angina, in individuals with heart disease or at high risk.
• Reduction of inflammation and blood clotting to minimize the risk of clot-related events.

How it Works

Tonact-ASP 75 Capsule combines two active ingredients that work together to improve heart health:

• Atorvastatin is a statin that reduces cholesterol production in the liver, particularly lowering LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol), which helps prevent plaque buildup in arteries.
• Aspirin acts as a blood thinner by inhibiting platelet aggregation, which reduces the likelihood of blood clot formation, further lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

This combination works synergistically to reduce both cholesterol levels and the risk of cardiovascular issues.

Benefits of Tonact-ASP 75 Capsule

• Lowers LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, improving overall cholesterol balance in the body.
• Reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes, in individuals at risk.
• Prevents blood clot formation, reducing the risk of dangerous clotting-related conditions.
• Helps improve heart health and prevent the progression of cardiovascular disease.

How to Take Tonact-ASP 75 Capsule

Follow these instructions for proper use:

• Take Tonact-ASP 75 Capsule as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily, with or without food.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew it.
• Take it at the same time each day for the best results.
• Do not take more than the prescribed dose, even if you miss a dose. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
