About Daztor 20 Tablet 10's

Daztor 20 Tablet 10's 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.

Daztor 20 Tablet 10's works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, Daztor 20 Tablet 10's increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood. Thus, Daztor 20 Tablet 10's 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. Daztor 20 Tablet 10's 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, Daztor 20 Tablet 10's helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.

Most of these side effects of Daztor 20 Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time.

Daztor 20 Tablet 10's 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). Daztor 20 Tablet 10's should not be prescribed to children less than ten years of age.
