Information About Atorva 20 Tablet

Atorva 20 Tablet belongs to a class of drugs known as statins. It is used to reduce cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that accumulates in your blood arteries, restricting them and potentially leading to a heart attack or stroke.

When used as directed by a doctor, Atorva 20 Tablet is a widely prescribed drug that is considered safe for long-term usage. It can be taken either with or without food. You can take it whenever you like, but try to take it around the same time every day.

It is critical to have your cholesterol levels examined on a regular basis. This medication is simply one component of a therapy plan that should also include a balanced diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, alcohol moderation, and weight loss. You can eat normally while taking this medication, but try to avoid high-fat foods. 

Constipation, flatulence, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain are common side effects of this medication. These are usually moderate and vanish quickly. If they persist, or if you notice any yellowing of your eyes, or if you get frequent or inexplicable muscle problems, see your doctor. 

Some disorders, such as liver disease, should not be treated with this medication. Pregnant women and lactating mothers should also avoid taking this medication because it may affect the growing baby. Diabetic people should watch their blood sugar levels while taking this medication, as it may cause an increase. Before beginning treatment, your doctor may do a liver function test and then monitor it on a regular basis.

Atorva 20 Tablet Benefits 

In High cholesterol

Atorva 20 Tablet belongs to a class of drugs known as statins. It works by decreasing the amount of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in your blood and increasing the amount of “good” cholesterol (HDL). Lowering your cholesterol levels lowers your risk of heart disease and allows you to live a healthier life for longer.

To maximize the effectiveness of this treatment, take it on a regular basis and make necessary lifestyle modifications (such as eating healthy and being active). Even if you feel OK, keep taking it.

In Prevention of Heart attack

High cholesterol levels can cause your blood arteries to narrow (atherosclerosis), putting you at risk of a stroke or heart disease.
