Atormit AC 75mg/10mg/75mg Tablet

Introduction

Atormit AC is a prescription medication that combines three active ingredients: Aspirin, Atorvastatin, and Clopidogrel. It is commonly used to treat certain cardiovascular conditions and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Uses

Atormit AC is primarily prescribed to individuals who have a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. It is commonly used to:

• Prevent blood clots: The combination of Aspirin and Clopidogrel helps to prevent the formation of blood clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
• Lower cholesterol: Atorvastatin is a statin medication that helps to reduce the levels of cholesterol in the blood, thereby decreasing the risk of cardiovascular events.

Dosage and Administration

follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional. The recommended dosage of Atormit AC may vary depending on your specific condition and medical history. Typically, it is taken orally with water, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole and not crush or chew it.

Mechanism of Action

Atormit AC works through its individual active ingredients to achieve its therapeutic effects:

• Aspirin: It works by inhibiting the production of certain substances in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and blood clotting.
• Atorvastatin: It reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver and helps to increase the removal of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from the blood.
• Clopidogrel: It inhibits the activation of platelets, preventing them from clumping together and forming blood clots.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Upset stomach
• Headache
• Muscle pain
• Diarrhea
• Nausea

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness), unusual bleeding or bruising, or severe stomach pain, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Atormit AC may interact with other medications, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Some common and serious drug interactions include:

• Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin): The combination of Atormit AC with anticoagulants may increase the risk of bleeding. Close monitoring of blood clotting parameters is important.
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Concomitant use of Atormit AC with NSAIDs may increase the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding. It is advisable to use these medications cautiously and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
