1. WHAT TINTAROS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tintaros belongs to a group of medicines called statins. You have been
prescribed Tintaros because:
-
You have a high cholesterol level. This means you are at risk from
a heart attack or stroke. Tintaros is used in adults, adolescents and
children 6 years or older to treat high cholesterol. You have been
advised to take a statin, because changing your diet and taking
more exercise were not enough to correct your cholesterol levels.
You should continue with your cholestrol-lowering diet and exercise
while you are taking Tintaros.
Or
-
You have other factors that increase your risk of having a heart
attack, stroke or related health problems. Heart attack, stroke and
other problems can be caused by a disease called atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is due to a build up of fatty deposits in your
arteris.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP TAKING TINTAROS
Tintaros is used to correct the levels of fatty substances in the
blood
called lipids, the most common of which is cholesterol.
There are different types of cholesterol found in the blood –
“bad”
cholesterol (LDL-C) and “good” cholesterol (HDL-C).
-
Tintaros can reduce the “bad” cholesterol and increase the
“good”
cholesterol.
