About
Q-STAT 60 MG TAB is a medication primarily used for the management of dyslipidemia, specifically to lower elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol), and triglycerides, while increasing HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol). It belongs to the class of drugs known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as statins. The active ingredient works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that is crucial for cholesterol production. This action leads to a reduction in the synthesis of cholesterol, prompting the liver to remove more LDL-cholesterol from the blood. By effectively lowering lipid levels, Q-STAT helps in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes, particularly in patients with existing cardiovascular disease or those at high risk due to multiple risk factors. Its therapeutic benefits extend to both primary and secondary prevention strategies for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
