Brief Answer:
Atorvastatin is not recommended in pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I can understand your concerns.

Ecospirin AV 75 mg has atorvastatin along with ecospirin.

Atorvastatin is not recommended in pregnancy has it can have side effects on the growing baby.

Though the risk is small but still it is there. I will advise you to get a congenital anomaly sonography scan to find any potential damage it might have done to the fetus.
