Overview Atsan 20mg Tablet

Cholesto-Guard 20mg tablets are statins, a class of medications employed to decrease cholesterol levels and mitigate the risk of cardiovascular events. High cholesterol, a fatty substance accumulating in blood vessels, causes narrowing, potentially leading to strokes or heart attacks. Cholesto-Guard 20mg is frequently prescribed and considered safe for long-term use under medical supervision. It can be administered with or without food, at any time of day, though consistency is recommended. While high cholesterol often presents no symptoms, discontinuing treatment elevates cholesterol, increasing heart disease and stroke risks. Regular cholesterol monitoring is crucial. This medication forms part of a broader treatment plan encompassing a balanced diet, regular physical activity, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. A normal diet is permissible, though high-fat foods should be limited. Common, typically mild and transient, side effects include constipation, gas, indigestion, and abdominal discomfort. Persistent symptoms, jaundice, or unexplained muscle pain necessitate immediate medical attention. This medication is contraindicated in liver disease, pregnancy, and breastfeeding due to potential harm to the fetus. Diabetics should monitor blood sugar levels as this medicine may cause elevation. Liver function tests may be conducted prior to and during treatment.

HDL, or "good" cholesterol, helps prevent this buildup. High triglyceride levels also pose health risks.
