How it works

Atorvastatin

Atorvastatin reduces the liver's production of cholesterol, which lowers LDL in the blood and slows the build-up of plaque in the arteries.

Aspirin

At the low doses used for the heart, aspirin permanently blocks an enzyme in platelets so they cannot clump together, which keeps clots from forming in narrowed arteries. At higher doses it also relieves pain and fever.

Common side effects

• Muscle aches and cramps
• Headache
• Indigestion
• Nausea
• Raised liver enzymes
• Stomach irritation and acidity
• Easy bruising
• Nosebleeds

Most side effects are mild and settle as your body adjusts. Tell your doctor if any of them persist or trouble you.

Safety advice

Quick tips

• Avoid large amounts of grapefruit juice, which raises the drug level
• Report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness
• Statins are for long-term protection, not a short course
• Take it after food, at the same time each day
• Never stop low-dose aspirin on your own after a stent or heart attack — always ask your doctor
• Tell your dentist or surgeon that you are on aspirin before any procedure
