Atoride A 10mg/150mg Tablet

Introduction

Atoride A is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Atorvastatin and Aspirin. Atorvastatin is a statin medication that helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood, while Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain, inflammation, and fever.

Uses

Atoride A is primarily used to treat and manage conditions related to cardiovascular health. It is commonly prescribed to:

• Lower elevated cholesterol levels in patients with high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia)
• Reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease
• Prevent blood clot formation in patients with a high risk of developing blood clots

Dosage and Administration

Atoride A should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The dosage may vary depending on your specific condition, medical history, and other medications you are taking. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully.

Typically, the recommended dose of Atoride A is one tablet taken orally once daily. It is usually taken with or without food, but it is advisable to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body.

Mechanism of Action

Atorvastatin, one of the active ingredients in Atoride A, works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme plays a key role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By inhibiting this enzyme, Atorvastatin helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.

Aspirin, the other active ingredient in Atoride A, works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that promote pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing the production of these chemicals, Aspirin helps alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Headache
• Upset stomach
• Diarrhea
• Muscle or joint pain
• Dizziness

In rare cases, Atoride A may cause more serious side effects, such as:

• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
• Liver problems
• Muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis)
• Bleeding or bruising

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Atoride A may interact with other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Some common drug interactions include:

• Anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as Warfarin
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen
• Cyclosporine
• Grapefruit juice

inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.

Precautions

Before taking Atoride A, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions or allergies you may have. Additionally, certain precautions should be considered, including:

• Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Atoride A, as it may increase the risk of liver problems.
• Do not take Atoride A if you have a history of aspirin allergy or bleeding disorders.
• Inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as Atoride A may not be suitable during these periods.

Be sure to follow all precautions provided by your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use of Atoride A.
