Atorvastatin 40 mg Tabs- (SWASATOR 40 )- GA
₹195.00
The Atorvastatin 40 mg tablets, marketed under brand names like SWASATOR 40 (likely by Swasthya Pharmaceuticals), are a prescription medication used to lower high cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. They belong to a class of drugs known as statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors).
Key Uses and Benefits
Atorvastatin works by blocking an enzyme in the liver required to produce cholesterol, which reduces the amount of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while slightly raising “good” cholesterol (HDL).
- High Cholesterol Management: Primarily used when diet and lifestyle changes alone have failed to lower elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL (“bad” cholesterol), and triglycerides.
- Cardiovascular Disease Prevention: Even if cholesterol levels are normal, it can be prescribed to reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and angina in patients with risk factors.
- Genetic Conditions: Particularly effective in treating familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disorder causing dangerously high cholesterol levels.
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are usually mild and temporary, but some can be serious. Consult your doctor if any side effects persist or worsen, and seek immediate medical help for serious symptoms.
- Common Side Effects: Nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, constipation, headache, back pain, joint pain, muscle aches, sore throat, or cold-like symptoms (runny/clogged nose, sneezing).
- Serious Side Effects (Call Doctor Immediately):
- Unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if accompanied by fever or dark-colored urine, which could indicate muscle injury (rhabdomyolysis).
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), stomach pain, or dark urine, which can be signs of liver problems.
- Signs of an allergic reaction: severe rash, itching, hives, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs.
Important Precautions
- Prescription Medicine: This is a prescription medication and must be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Lifestyle Changes: Atorvastatin is most effective when used in conjunction with a healthy diet (low in fat/cholesterol), regular exercise, weight management, and smoking cessation.
- Alcohol/Grapefruit: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, and avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as they can interact with the medicine and increase side effects.
- Medical History: Inform your doctor about existing liver problems, kidney problems, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or a history of muscle disorders before starting treatment.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Do not take this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding without consulting your doctor first.
- Regular Monitoring: Your doctor will likely recommend regular blood tests to monitor your cholesterol levels and liver function while you are taking this medication.
