About Nutro VAS-AS Capsule

Nutro VAS-AS Capsule is a prescription medicine that combines atorvastatin and aspirin to help reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications. It is commonly prescribed for people with coronary artery disease, a history of cardiovascular events, or those at high risk of developing heart and blood vessel problems. By lowering cholesterol levels and helping prevent blood clot formation, this medicine provides comprehensive cardiovascular protection.

Take Nutro VAS-AS Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day. Taking medicine with food may help reduce stomach discomfort. Following a heart-healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity can help improve the effectiveness of your treatment.

Some people may experience mild side effects such as indigestion, heartburn, nausea, headache, or mild muscle aches. These effects are usually manageable and may improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, seek immediate medical attention if you develop severe muscle pain, muscle weakness, dark-coloured urine, unusual bleeding, black stools, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Before taking Nutro VAS-AS Capsule , inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or heavy alcohol use.

Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking this medicine, as it may increase the risk of stomach bleeding and liver-related side effects. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you are older than 65 years, so they can determine whether this medicine is appropriate for you.
