Uses of Atormac Gold 20 Capsule

What is it prescribed for?
Prevention of heart attack and stroke
A heart attack occurs when the blood vessels of your heart get blocked due to clot formation or fat/cholesterol buildup. A blockage in your blood vessels can potentially cause an interruption in blood flow to your brain, resulting in a stroke. Atormac Gold 20 Capsule is used to lower cholesterol and fat levels while also reducing clot formation, thus it lowers the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

When not to use?

Avoid taking Atormac Gold 20 Capsule if you are previously allergic to it. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching/swelling (especially of your face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, breathing difficulties, etc.
