Uses of Atosta 5

Prevention of Heart attack High cholesterol High triglycerides Prevention of Prevention of heart attack and stroke

Benefits of Atosta 5

In High cholesterol
Atosta 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
Atosta 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 Atosta 5 works

Atosta 5 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).
