Aspirin + Atorvastatin is a fixed-dose combination medicine that pairs low-dose aspirin, an antiplatelet drug, with atorvastatin, a cholesterol-lowering statin. It is used mainly to prevent cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in people who already have, or are at high risk of, cardiovascular disease. Combining the two drugs in a single pill is intended to simplify treatment and improve adherence, and such fixed-dose combinations underpin the wider polypill approach to cardiovascular prevention.
Flurbiprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in the same propionic-acid family as ibuprofen. It is used for pain, inflammation, and stiffness, comes as tablets, an eye drop (to keep the pupil open during surgery), and topical and lozenge forms for sore throat. Like other NSAIDs, it works by dialing down the body's production of prostaglandins, the messengers behind much inflammation, pain, and fever.
