Composition of Astin 40
Astin 40 contains Atorvastatin (40mg). It belongs to the Statin / lipid modifier class of medicines.
Uses of Astin 40
Prevention of Heart attack High cholesterol High triglycerides Prevention of Prevention of heart attack and stroke
Benefits of Astin 40
- In High cholesterol
- Astin lowers the 'bad' LDL cholesterol in your blood, slowing the build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries. The benefit builds over months and years rather than being something you feel.
- In Prevention of heart attack and stroke
- Astin stabilises the fatty plaques already lining your arteries so they are less likely to rupture and block a vessel. That is what lowers the chance of a heart attack or stroke.
How Astin 40 works
Astin 40 Tablet is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required in the body to make cholesterol. It thus lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, raising the level of "good" cholesterol (HDL).
