Atorvastatin (20mg)

Overview DavaIndia Atorvastatin 20mg Tablet

Atorvastatin 20mg tablets (DavaIndia brand) are statins, medications that lower cholesterol and lessen the risk of cardiovascular events. High cholesterol, a fatty substance accumulating in blood vessels, causes narrowing that can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Widely used and generally considered safe for long-term use under medical supervision, Atorvastatin 20mg can be taken with or without food, at any time of day, but consistently at the same time daily. Many with high cholesterol feel well, but discontinuation increases heart disease and stroke risk. Regular cholesterol monitoring is vital. This medication is part of a comprehensive treatment plan including a healthy diet, exercise, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. While on this medication, maintain a generally healthy diet, minimizing high-fat foods. Common, usually mild and transient, side effects include constipation, gas, indigestion, and abdominal discomfort. Persistent side effects, jaundice (yellowing of the eyes), or unexplained muscle pain warrant immediate medical attention. Contraindications include liver disease; it's unsuitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential harm to the fetus. Diabetics should closely monitor blood sugar levels as Atorvastatin may elevate them. Your physician may assess liver function before and during treatment.

FAQs on DavaIndia Atorvastatin 20mg Tablet

Your blood contains cholesterol, a type of fat. Total cholesterol reflects the combined levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol.

HDL, or "good" cholesterol, helps prevent this buildup. High triglyceride levels also pose health risks.
DavaIndia Atorvastatin 20mg Tablets can cause muscle problems, including pain, tenderness, weakness, and fatigue, due to reduced oxygen flow to muscle cells.
