Description:
Aztor 10 Tablet is a statin medication commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. It works by inhibiting the production of cholesterol in the liver, preventing its buildup in the blood vessels, and helping to maintain clear arteries for better heart health. The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it should be taken at the same time each day to ensure consistent effectiveness. It is important to continue taking Aztor even if you feel well, as it helps maintain long-term cholesterol control. Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is advised to track progress and make any necessary adjustments to the dosage.
To enhance the effectiveness of the treatment, patients are encouraged to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet low in saturated fats, regular physical activity, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight. While Aztor 10 is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as constipation, flatulence, indigestion, or abdominal discomfort. If more serious symptoms like yellowing of the eyes, dark urine, or unexplained muscle pain occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.
This medication is not recommended for individuals with active liver disease and should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Always consult your doctor for guidance tailored to your individual health needs.
