Aztor 5 is a prescription medication containing Atorvastatin 5 mg, a member of the statin class of drugs. It is primarily used to manage high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.
Main Uses
- Hypercholesterolemia: Lowers elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly known as “bad” cholesterol.
- Hypertriglyceridemia: Reduces high triglyceride levels in the blood.
- Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: Decreases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and related complications in individuals with existing heart disease or risk factors.
How It Works
Atorvastatin inhibits the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a central role in the liver’s production of cholesterol. By reducing cholesterol synthesis, Aztor 5 helps lower overall cholesterol levels and prevent the buildup of fatty deposits in arteries.
Precautions
- Liver Disease: Use with caution in individuals with liver conditions, as statins can affect liver function.
- Kidney Disease: Monitor kidney function regularly, as statins may impact renal health.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential harm to the fetus or infant.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid adverse interactions.
Dosage and Administration
- Typical Dosage: One tablet daily, with or without food.
- Consistency: Take at the same time each day to help remember.
- Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose.
