STATPURE 40MG 10S

About

STATPURE 40mg contains a statin, a class of medications known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. This enzyme plays a key role in the body's cholesterol production pathway in the liver. By inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, statins effectively reduce the synthesis of cholesterol, primarily low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. Beyond lowering LDL-C, statins also have beneficial effects on triglycerides and can modestly increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Their pleiotropic effects include anti-inflammatory and plaque-stabilizing properties, contributing to a significant reduction in the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes in patients with hyperlipidemia or those at high cardiovascular risk.

Uses

• Treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia.
• Reduction of elevated LDL-C and total cholesterol.
• Prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients.
• Management of mixed dyslipidemia.
