About Ptvs Tablet

Ptvs Tablet is used to lower bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Additionally, Ptvs Tablet reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in future. High cholesterol, known as hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemia, occurs when there is an excess of the unhealthy balance of cholesterol in the blood. When the cholesterol level is high in the blood, your arteries get narrowed and clogged, contributing to heart diseases like stroke and heart attack. 

Ptvs Tablet contains Pitavastatin, which works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the body that is essential to making cholesterol. Thereby, it decreases the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) by the liver. Also, Ptvs Tablet reduces the risk of stroke or heart attack by reducing the brain's excess cholesterol deposition and the heart's major blood vessels.
