Description
Product Overview:
Tonact 40 Tablet is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It contains Atorvastatin (40mg), which helps manage cholesterol levels by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver. This helps in reducing the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL).
Key Ingredient:
- Atorvastatin (40mg): A statin drug that blocks the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in the liver’s production of cholesterol. By reducing the production of cholesterol, it lowers the levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good cholesterol).
How Tonact 40 Tablet Works:
Tonact 40 Tablet works by inhibiting the action of the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which is involved in the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. As a result, it decreases LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing HDL cholesterol. This helps to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular issues caused by high cholesterol.
