About Atorva E 40 Tablet

Atorva E 40 Tablet is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels in the blood. This tablet contains a combination of two medicines: Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe. Atorvastatin works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the body, thus preventing the build-up of cholesterol in the arteries which could lead to heart diseases like heart attacks and strokes. Ezetimibe, on the other hand, is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor that helps in preventing the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines.

Individuals are advised to take Atorva E 40 Tablet as per the schedule prescribed by their doctor and it can be taken with or without food. It is essential to take the medication regularly at evenly spaced intervals and at the same time every day to ensure effectiveness. It is important not to stop taking the medication abruptly even if one starts to feel better. Lifestyle changes such as staying active, quitting smoking, adopting a healthy low-fat diet, and regular exercise can enhance the effectiveness of the medication.

While Atrova E 40 Tablet is generally well-tolerated, some common side effects may include nausea, stomach pain, constipation, muscle pain, joint pain, diarrhea, tendon problems, memory loss, confusion, depression, and body pain. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but individuals are advised to consult their doctor if they persist or worsen. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and liver function is recommended while taking this medication.

Before initiating treatment with Atorva E 40 Tablet, it is important to inform the doctor about any existing kidney or liver problems, heart conditions, high blood pressure, or if one is pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also necessary to disclose all other medications being taken to avoid any potential interactions. Atorva E 40 Tablet is particularly beneficial for patients with primary hypercholesterolemia, where it aids in lowering bad cholesterol levels (LDL and triglycerides) and raising good cholesterol (HDL) to improve overall lipid profiles and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
