Hi,

Ecosprin AV 75 contains ASPIRIN 75 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg. I noticed that you are having dyslipidemia as your cholesterol 217. Indication of aspirin mainly secondary prevention of cardiovascular risk (means you had angina, coronary artery disease, minor stroke). Three is a limited role for primary prevention (for those who had risk factors for CVD such as smoking, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, etc.).

if you have started for secondary prevention then you should continue taking aspirin and statin. For primary prevention, you can reassess your risk factors and then decide whether or not to take aspirin. The side effect of low dose aspirin is very few. Peptic ulcer gastritis is one of them. To avoid that you can take aspirin after a meal. You make consider taking PPI such as Pantoprozole 40 mg once a day if you have symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
