Missed Dose

If you missed a dose of Atrostat-10 Tablet, take it as soon as you recall. But if it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your dosage.

Maintain a low-cholesterol and low-fat diet to help manage high cholesterol levels. This includes reducing the intake of red meat, full-fat dairy products, and processed foods.
Increase consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins like fish and poultry.
Regular physical activity can help raise your 'good' HDL cholesterol while lowering your 'bad' LDL cholesterol. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise per day.

Limit alcohol consumption, as excessive drinking can lead to high blood pressure, heart failure and stroke.
