About: AZTOR 20MG

Aztor 20 Tablet is classified within the statin category of medications. It functions primarily to decrease cholesterol levels in the body, which is crucial for minimizing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Elevated cholesterol can accumulate in blood vessels, leading to potential blockages that may result in serious health events such as heart attacks or strokes. Aztor 20 is frequently prescribed and is considered safe for extended use when taken according to a healthcare professional's instructions. This medication can be administered with food or without, providing flexibility in its consumption. It is advisable to take it consistently at the same time each day to maintain stable levels in the bloodstream. Many individuals with high cholesterol may remain asymptomatic; therefore, discontinuing the medication could lead to a resurgence of cholesterol levels, consequently heightening the risk of heart-related issues. Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is crucial while on this medication. Aztor is part of a broader treatment plan that should also encompass a nutritious diet, regular physical activity, cessation of smoking, limited alcohol consumption, and weight management. Normal dietary habits can generally be maintained, but it is prudent to limit high-fat foods while undergoing treatment. Use this medicine only under medical supervision. Follow the dose and schedule exactly as advised. Do not stop abruptly without guidance. Keep a record of any unusual symptoms and share them with your clinician. Combine therapy with appropriate lifestyle measures and routine monitoring as recommended.
