Aztor 80 Tablet

Description

Product Description

Aztor 80 Tablet is part of the statin class of medications and is primarily used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can accumulate in blood vessels, narrowing them and potentially leading to serious health conditions such as heart attacks or strokes. By lowering cholesterol levels, Aztor helps to reduce these risks, promoting better heart health.

Aztor 80 Tablet is widely prescribed and is considered safe for long-term use when taken according to the doctor’s instructions. It can be taken with or without food, and it’s recommended to take the tablet at the same time every day for the best results. Even though high cholesterol doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms, stopping the medication may lead to a rise in cholesterol levels, increasing the likelihood of heart disease and stroke.

In addition to taking Aztor 80, it’s important to follow a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and managing weight. Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is essential during treatment.

Common side effects may include mild symptoms such as constipation, flatulence, indigestion, and abdominal pain. If these symptoms persist or if you experience unusual muscle pain or yellowing of the skin or eyes, consult your doctor immediately.

How Aztor 80 Tablet Works:

Aztor 80 Tablet is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, Aztor lowers levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides, while helping to raise levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol, thereby improving overall heart health and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
