Zivast 10 Tablet is used to lower elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It contains atorvastatin, a statin that inhibits cholesterol production in the liver, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
In addition to this principal use, this tablet also plays a role in managing abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, a condition known as dyslipidemia. It reduces not only the 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in your blood but also increases the 'good' cholesterol (HDL). This aids in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes, especially in patients with a family history of heart disease or long-term health conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.
