Uses of Gloristat 40
Treatment of High cholesterol Treatment of High triglycerides Prevention of heart attack and stroke Atherosclerosis (plaque deposition inside the arteries) Dysbetalipoproteinemia
Benefits of Gloristat 40
- In High cholesterol
- Gloristat 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
- Gloristat 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.

Gloristat 40 Tablet is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required by the body to make cholesterol, thereby lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol (HDL).
