Aspirin

Painkiller and blood thinner

What it is used for

In higher doses it relieves pain and fever; in low doses (75 to 150 mg) it helps prevent heart attacks and strokes.

How it works

At pain-relief doses it blocks prostaglandins; at low doses it permanently stops platelets from sticking together, which is why 75 to 150 mg a day helps prevent clots in people with heart disease.

How to take it

Low-dose aspirin is taken once a day after food, exactly as your doctor prescribed; do not stop suddenly without advice. For pain, adults take 300 to 600 mg every 4 to 6 hours after food, up to 4 g a day.

Common side effects

  • Indigestion
  • Easy bruising
  • Nosebleeds
  • Mild stomach bleeding over time

Get medical help straight away if

  • Black or bloody stools or vomiting blood
  • Wheezing
  • Ringing in the ears (sign of too much)
  • Unusual bleeding that does not stop

Be careful

Can cause stomach bleeding. Not for children or teenagers with fever (risk of Reye's syndrome).

Other medicines and interactions

Raises bleeding risk with warfarin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, NSAIDs and SSRIs. Ibuprofen taken just before low-dose aspirin can block its heart-protecting effect. Raises methotrexate levels.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Low-dose aspirin is sometimes prescribed in pregnancy (for example to prevent pre-eclampsia); otherwise avoid pain-relief doses, especially in the last three months. Avoid regular use while breastfeeding unless a doctor prescribes it.

Atorvastatin

Cholesterol medicine (statin)

What it is used for

Lowers LDL cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

How it works

A statin that blocks the liver enzyme that makes cholesterol, lowering LDL cholesterol and the risk of heart attack and stroke.

How to take it

Usually 10 to 80 mg once a day, any time, with or without food. Keep taking it long term.

Common side effects

  • Muscle aches
  • Headache
  • Constipation
  • Nausea
  • Slightly higher sugar

Get medical help straight away if

  • Unexplained muscle pain, weakness or dark urine (rare muscle breakdown)
  • Yellow skin

Be careful

Report unexplained muscle pain. Avoid large amounts of grapefruit.

Other medicines and interactions

Clarithromycin, itraconazole, some HIV medicines, gemfibrozil and large amounts of grapefruit juice raise statin levels and muscle risk. Can increase the effect of warfarin.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Stop statins if you become pregnant or are trying to conceive, and do not take while breastfeeding.
