Aztor 5 Tablet is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. It works by preventing cholesterol buildup in blood vessels, helping to keep them clear and reducing complications. The tablet should be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time every day for best results.
Even if you feel fine, continue taking the medicine to maintain cholesterol control, and regular cholesterol level checks are important to monitor progress. To support the medication, it is recommended to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats, engage in regular exercise, avoid smoking, limit alcohol intake, and maintain a healthy weight.
Common side effects include constipation, flatulence, indigestion (dyspepsia), and abdominal pain. These are generally mild and temporary, but if symptoms persist, or if you experience yellowing of the eyes or unexplained muscle pain, consult your doctor. The medication is not suitable for individuals with liver disease, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid taking it. Diabetic patients should monitor blood sugar levels, as the drug may cause an increase. Additionally, liver function tests may be required before and during treatment. For any concerns, always consult your doctor.
