About ATOREC D3 TABLET

ATOREC D3 TABLET is a cholesterol-lowering medicine containing atorvastatin (statins or lipid reducer) and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). It helps lower bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein-LDL) and triglycerides (fats) levels. Hence, it reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in the future. Two types of cholesterol are found in our body: good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) and bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein). Good cholesterol is good for our heart and helps reduce the bad cholesterol in our body. On the other hand, excess bad cholesterol (LDL) leads to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.

ATOREC D3 TABLET works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, ATOREC D3 TABLET increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood. Thus, ATOREC D3 TABLET lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. ATOREC D3 TABLET reduces the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increases the ‘good’ cholesterol by blocking our body’s production of ‘bad’ cholesterol. It also improves your body’s ability to remove it from your blood. Cholecalciferol is added to relieve the muscle pain caused due to atorvastatin. Collectively, ATOREC D3 TABLET helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.

The prescribed dose of ATOREC D3 TABLET is daily once a day at the same time. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. You can take ATOREC D3 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, headache, blurred vision, pain, constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, muscle spasms, joint swelling, and back pain. Most of these side effects of ATOREC D3 TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

ATOREC D3 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). ATOREC D3 TABLET should not be prescribed to children less than ten years of age. You should contact a doctor before if you have had an allergic reaction to ATOREC D3 TABLET, have liver or kidney problems, pregnant or planning to get pregnant, are breastfeeding, have severe lung disease, have a previous heart attack or stroke caused by bleeding in the brain, have hypothyroidism, drink more than two servings of alcohol per day and have a muscle disorder (fibromyalgia).
