1. What are the effects of aspirin enteric-coated tablets and atorvastatin calcium

Thrombosis usually refers to the continuous flow of blood flow to form a single blood clot at the peeling of the inner wall of the cardiovascular blood vessel. Thrombosis is caused by an imbalance in the regulation of blood coagulation. When blood flows, it may cause some substances in the blood to deposit on the blood vessel wall and eventually lead to plaque formation over time. Disturbance of the balance of the body's coagulation-anticoagulation mechanism during coagulation may also lead to thrombosis due to platelet deposition. If blood clots, especially plaques, appear in blood vessels such as arteries, veins, and capillaries due to platelet deposition and other reasons, the accumulation of cells will increase and become more prone to thrombosis. Especially for people with tumors, heart failure, diabetes, vascular hyperplasia and other diseases, they are more likely to generate blood plaques and should pay more attention to the prevention of thrombosis. Aspirin enteric-coated tablets and atorvastatin calcium tablets are often used to treat blood clots.

Atorvastatin calcium tablets are mainly used to reduce fat content and are often used to maintain the stability of high cholesterol levels. Functions include breaking down and synthesizing cholesterol to inhibit aortic atherosclerosis, preventing the attack of low-density protein synthesis receptors in the human liver, and reducing the formation of blood clots.

Regular use of atorvastatin calcium tablets is also very harmful to the intestines. Like aspirin, atorvastatin calcium also stimulates the intestinal tract, thereby causing damage to the human gastrointestinal mucosa and eventually leading to intestinal diseases. Although atorvastatin calcium tablets are very effective in the treatment of thrombosis, the harm caused is not small, so if there is a slight adverse reaction, you must stop taking it and seek medical attention in time.

In addition, regular monitoring of blood lipids to understand their own blood lipid levels can better treat diseases. For example, taking atorvastatin calcium tablets as an example, blood lipid levels are usually checked four weeks after taking the drug to see if the low-density protein cholesterol level has dropped to the desired level. When this level is reached, it is also necessary to check every six months or every year to confirm the control of blood lipids by the drug.

Pay attention to the safety of long-term medication
It is vital that the drug works correctly in the long run. Common adverse reactions of atorvastatin include headache, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms.

Adverse reactions such as increased transaminases, muscle pain, and increased blood sugar may also be caused by taking atorvastatin. There is also a high risk of bleeding symptoms if you take aspirin enteric-coated tablets for a long time. Such as bleeding gums, digestive system bleeding, skin and epidermis bleeding are typical bleeding symptoms. Aspirin enteric-coated tablets as anti-angiogenic tablets can increase the risk of bleeding in other parts, which is a common feature of anti-angiogenic drugs. The safety of aspirin in most cases is guaranteed long-term. However, when taking the drug, the dosage of the drug must be adjusted in time to avoid greater risks.
