Uses of Atocor 40 mg
Prevention of Heart attack High cholesterol High triglycerides Prevention of Prevention of heart attack and stroke
Benefits of Atocor 40 mg
- In High cholesterol
- Atocor 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
- Atocor 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 Atocor 40 mg works
ATOcor 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).
