Avas 10 Tablet

Avas 10 Tablet belongs to the class of medicines known as statins. It is mainly prescribed to lower cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of heart problems. Cholesterol is a type of fat that can collect inside blood vessels and make them narrower, which might eventually lead to serious conditions like heart attack or stroke.

This medicine is commonly recommended for long-term use and is generally safe when taken under medical supervision. You can take it with or without meals, at any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time every day for best results. Many people with high cholesterol may not have noticeable symptoms, but stopping the treatment suddenly can cause cholesterol levels to rise again, which could increase the risk of heart-related issues.

To get the full benefit of this medicine, it is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly and follow a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet, regular physical activity, avoiding smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight are all key parts of the treatment plan. While taking the medicine, it is better to limit foods rich in saturated fat.

Some people may experience side effects like stomach discomfort, loose stools, nausea, muscle aches with long-term use, or joint pain. These are usually temporary and tend to go away on their own. If they continue or you notice signs like yellowing of the eyes or unusual muscle pain, you should contact your doctor immediately.

The medicine should not be taken by people with certain liver problems. It is also not suitable for pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers because it could affect the baby. People with diabetes should keep an eye on their blood sugar levels as it may slightly raise them. Your doctor might recommend a liver function test before starting and from time to time while on the treatment.

Avas 10 Tablet helps in preventing heart attacks by reducing cholesterol buildup in the arteries and keeping blood flow normal. This lowers the risk of blockages that can cause serious heart and brain conditions. Continuing the medicine as advised even when you feel healthy is important for long-term protection.

Some of the common side effects that can occur are stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, mild pain in arms or legs, joint discomfort, urinary infections, or abnormal liver test results. Most of these are mild and do not require stopping the medicine.

Take the dose prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water without crushing or chewing it. Taking it at the same time every day helps in better control of cholesterol levels.

The medicine works by blocking a natural enzyme in the body that is needed to produce cholesterol. By lowering the levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides and raising good cholesterol, it improves overall heart health.

People with liver disorders should use the medicine carefully and only if the doctor advises. It is not recommended in severe or active liver conditions. Those with kidney issues can generally take it safely, but informing the doctor about any medical history is always important.

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Never take two doses together to make up for the missed dose.
