Overview
Avastatin 20mg Tablets contain atorvastatin, a statin (cholesterol-lowering medicine) for high cholesterol and high triglycerides. By blocking the enzyme the liver uses to make cholesterol, atorvastatin lowers “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and raises “good” HDL cholesterol, helping prevent heart attack and stroke. The 20mg strength suits patients needing stronger cholesterol control than the starting dose provides. Taken with a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise, Avastatin 20mg is a dependable option for people managing high cholesterol, diabetes-related heart risk or established heart disease (28 tablets per pack).
Atorvastatin 20mg per tablet (as atorvastatin calcium).
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. The usual dose is one tablet once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. Swallow whole with a glass of water. Continue your doctor's recommended diet and exercise plan while on treatment, and keep taking the tablets even when you feel well. Attend review appointments so your doctor can monitor cholesterol levels and liver function.
Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with active liver disease. Report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness to your doctor promptly. Avoid large amounts of grapefruit juice and limit alcohol. Some medicines (certain antibiotics, antifungals and HIV treatments) interact with atorvastatin. Tell your doctor or pharmacist everything you take. Common side effects include mild muscle aches, headache and stomach upset; yellowing of eyes/skin or dark urine needs urgent review.
