Product Introduction
Astin 20 Tablet is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. High cholesterol is a fatty substance that builds up in the blood vessels, leading to narrowing and increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. Astin 20 Tablet helps prevent these conditions by reducing “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the blood while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL).
It is important to take Astin 20 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor, as part of a comprehensive treatment program that includes a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and lifestyle modifications like smoking cessation and weight management. The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to help you remember. Even if you feel well, it’s crucial to continue taking this medicine to maintain optimal cholesterol levels.
