Hi there... Pls dont feel bad but tab.loprin 75mg(aspirin) is an antiplatelet drug usually prescribed for heart disease patients(ihd) or for its prevention... There is no role of loprin in reducing cholestrol level... So if ur cholestrol level is high start with atorvastatin or rosuvastatin.. Take care..
