Aztor 10 Tablet

Description

Product Details

Aztor 10 mg Tablet is a medication primarily used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The active ingredient in Aztor is atorvastatin, which belongs to the class of drugs known as statins.

Uses:

• It is prescribed to lower high cholesterol (including LDL cholesterol) and triglycerides.
• It helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular problems, especially in patients with diabetes or other risk factors.

How it works: Atorvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in producing cholesterol in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, the drug reduces the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the blood while increasing good cholesterol (HDL).

Dosage:

• Typically, the starting dose for Aztor 10 mg is 10 to 10 mg per day, depending on the patient’s condition.
• It is usually taken once a day, with or without food.
