Atheart 10MG Tab

Tablet

Used to treat high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia) and to reduce risk of cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in high-risk patients.

Atorvastatin is an HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that reduces cholesterol synthesis in the liver. It lowers LDL and triglycerides and modestly increases HDL, helping reduce atherosclerotic plaque formation and cardiovascular risk.

Take orally as directed by a doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Continue diet and lifestyle measures; do not stop without medical advice.

Headache, stomach pain, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, muscle pain, weakness, increased liver enzymes

Seek medical help for unexplained muscle pain/tenderness/weakness, especially with fever or dark urine (risk of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis). Use caution in alcohol use, liver problems, hypothyroidism, kidney impairment, and in elderly. Periodic lipid profile and liver function monitoring may be advised.
