PIVASTA.1

Description

Product Introduction:

Pivasta 1 Tablet is a medication used to manage high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which help lower the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and increase the levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL). High cholesterol can cause narrowing of the blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Pivasta is an effective and commonly prescribed medication for long-term cholesterol management.

Pivasta is generally well-tolerated for long-term use, and it can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day. However, consistency in timing is important for maximum benefit. Along with taking this medicine, lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, weight management, and smoking cessation are also crucial for improving heart health.

Salt Composition:

• Pitavastatin (1mg)

Uses of Pivasta Tablet:

• High Cholesterol: Pivasta 1 Tablet helps lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides while increasing HDL (“good” cholesterol), reducing the risk of heart disease.
• Prevention of Heart Attack and Stroke: By managing cholesterol levels, it significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes.

Benefits of Pivasta Tablet:

1. Lowers “Bad” Cholesterol: Pivasta effectively reduces the levels of LDL cholesterol, which is a major contributor to the buildup of plaque in blood vessels and the subsequent risk of heart disease.
2. Raises “Good” Cholesterol: It also helps raise the levels of HDL cholesterol, which helps remove bad cholesterol from the blood vessels.
3. Reduces Risk of Cardiovascular Events: By managing cholesterol levels, Pivasta reduces the likelihood of serious heart problems such as heart attacks, strokes, and related complications.
4. Prevention of Heart Disease: Regular use, combined with healthy lifestyle practices, reduces the overall burden of heart disease and helps you maintain a healthy, active life.

How Pivasta 1 Tablet Works:

Pivasta 1 Tablet contains Pitavastatin (1mg), which is a statin that works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is involved in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, Pitavastatin reduces the production of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, while helping increase the level of HDL cholesterol, which is beneficial for heart health.
