TONACT-10
₹79.55
Tonact 10 Tablet is a prescription medication used to lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. Its active ingredient is atorvastatin 10 mg, which belongs to a class of drugs known as statins.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Atorvastatin 10 mg
- Manufacturer: Lupin Ltd.
- Mechanism of Action: It works by blocking the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver, which is essential for cholesterol production. This action lowers levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while raising “good” cholesterol (HDL).
- Administration: It should be taken once daily at the same time each day, with or without food, as directed by a doctor. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
Uses
Tonact 10 Tablet is used in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise for:
- Cholesterol management: Lowering high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.
- Cardiovascular disease prevention: Reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other heart-related problems, especially in patients with existing heart conditions, diabetes, or a family history of high cholesterol.
- Atherosclerosis prevention: Slowing the progression of atherosclerosis, the narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup.
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary, but a doctor should be consulted if they persist or worsen.
- Common side effects:
- Nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation
- Headache and dizziness
- Muscle and joint pain, which should be reported to a doctor if severe or unexplained
- Sore throat and cold-like symptoms
- Abnormal liver function tests
- Serious side effects (rare): Severe muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis) leading to kidney problems, or liver problems indicated by yellowing of skin/eyes or dark urine.
Important Precautions
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is highly unsafe and is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as it can harm the baby. Women of childbearing age must use reliable contraception.
- Liver Disease: It is not recommended for people with active or severe liver disease. Liver function tests may be required before and during treatment.
- Alcohol Consumption: Avoid excessive alcohol, as it can increase the risk of liver damage and other side effects.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications and supplements being taken (especially certain antibiotics, antifungals, or other cholesterol-lowering medicines) as they can interact with atorvastatin.
- Lifestyle: The medication works best when combined with a low-fat diet, regular exercise, weight management, and smoking cessation.
- Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly: Discontinuing Tonact 10 without medical advice can cause cholesterol levels to rise again, increasing health risks.
