Uses of Novastat Gold Tablet

What is it prescribed for?
Hyperlipidaemia
Hyperlipidaemia refers to an increase in the level of fats (cholesterol) in your blood. TIt may lead to an insufficient blood supply to various organs such as the heart, brain, etc. Novastat Gold Tablet is used in the treatment of hyperlipidaemia by lowering the levels of unwanted fats in your blood.
Prevention of heart attack and stroke
A heart attack occurs when blood flow to your heart is blocked due to the formation of blood clots and the deposition of unwanted fats in your blood vessels. Such blockage may also interrupt the blood supply to your brain causing a stroke (a condition that occurs due to insufficient blood supply to the brain). Hence, Novastat Gold Tablet is used for the prevention and treatment of heart attack and stroke.
