About Atorfit 40 Tablet
ATORFIT 40MG TABLET belongs to a class of medications called statins to treat raised cholesterol levels in our body. ATORFIT 40MG TABLET helps lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol in the blood and increase the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol. Dyslipidaemia is the deposition of unhealthy levels of fats (lipid) in the blood. In this condition, there is always a high level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad cholesterol), triglycerides (TG) and low level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL or good cholesterol).
ATORFIT 40MG TABLET contains ‘Atorvastatin’ which works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the arteries’ walls and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. ATORFIT 40MG TABLET helps to decrease the production of cholesterol that may build up on the blood vessels (arteries) of the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. By lowering cholesterol levels, they help prevent heart diseases such as heart attacks and strokes in the future. ATORFIT 40MG TABLET can also be prescribed for people with a family history of a raised cholesterol in coronary heart disease or long-term health conditions of type 1, type 2 diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis.
The prescribed dose of ATORFIT 40MG TABLET is daily once a day at the same time. Your doctor will advise you how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. You can take ATORFIT 40MG TABLET with food or without food. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. In a few cases, you may experience allergic reactions, hyperglycaemia (excess of glucose in the bloodstream), headache, vision blurred, pain, constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, muscle spasms, joint swelling, and back pain. Most of these side effects of ATORFIT 40MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Consult your doctor immediately if you have yellowing of eye/skin (jaundice), dark urine, or repeated unexplained muscular pain.
ATORFIT 40MG TABLET may cause a breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure. This condition usually occurs in the elderly, people with kidney disease, and poorly controlled hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
