Stn 10mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It belongs to a group of medicines called statins, which reduce the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. This helps lower 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing 'good' cholesterol (HDL), reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

Although cholesterol levels may begin to improve within 2–4 weeks, the full effect is usually seen after about 4 weeks of regular treatment. Continue taking the medicine even if you feel well, as high cholesterol often has no symptoms. Following a heart-healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting foods high in saturated and trans fats, can further improve cholesterol levels.
