Hi,
Without complete data like age, gender, any associated medical illness, etc.
Ecosprin AV which contains anti-clotting (blood thinner) Aspirin and cholesterol-lowering agent Atorvastatin commonly prescribed for the treatment of patients suffering from high cholesterol levels and those who are at an increased risk of complications such as a heart attack and stroke.
It should be taken for life long. Generally, Ecosprin AV is well tolerated by most of our patients. However, it may cause heartburn, upper abdominal pain, vomiting, muscle pain or weakness and liver dysfunction.
If you develop these side effects you must report to your treating doctor. Your LDL level is high so I recommend to increase the dose of Atorvastatin to 20 mg along with Aspirin 75 mg.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
