ZIVAST 5 TABLET 15'S

How ZIVAST 5 TABLET 15'S Works

• Cholesterol is largely made in the liver by an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. Atorvastatin blocks this enzyme, reducing the amount of cholesterol the liver produces. In response, the liver pulls more LDL ("bad") cholesterol out of the bloodstream, lowering blood levels. Over time this also helps stabilise fatty plaques in the artery walls, which is how it reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Atorvastatin is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include muscle or joint aches, mild digestive upset (nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion), headache, and cold-like symptoms such as a stuffy nose or sore throat. Others: mild rise in blood sugar and occasional increases in liver enzymes (usually checked with blood tests). Serious (seek medical attention): unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness — especially with fever, unusual tiredness, or dark-coloured urine — which can rarely signal serious muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis); signs of liver problems such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, severe stomach pain, or persistent nausea; or allergic reactions.
