WHAT ATOSTIN IS USED FOR
Atostin belongs to a group of
medicines
known
as
statins,
which are lipid (fat) regulating
medicines.
Atostin is used to lower lipids
known
as
cholesterol
[total
cholesterol,
low-density
lipoprotein
cholesterol
(LDL-
C)] and other fats (triglycerides)
and
to
increase
high
density
lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)
in the blood when a low fat diet
and
lifestyle
changes
on
their
own have failed.
Atostin can lower the risk for
heart attack, stroke, certain types
of heart surgery, and chest pain
in
patients
who
have
heart
disease or risk factors for heart
disease such as:
•
Age,
smoking,
high
blood
pressure,
low
HDL-C,
heart
disease in the family.
Atostin can lower the risk for
heart attack or stroke in patients
with
diabetes
and
risk
factors
such as:
•
Eye
problems,
kidney
problems,
smoking,
or
high
blood pressure.
Cholesterol:

has
cholesterol
and
triglycerides in their blood. They
are types of blood fat needed by
the
body
for
many
things,
including
building
cell
walls,
making bile acids (which help to
digest
food)
and
certain
hormones. However, too much
cholesterol can be a problem.
Your
body
makes
cholesterol,
but
it
also
comes
from
food.
Normally the body balances the
cholesterol
it
makes
with
the
cholesterol
it
gets
from
food.
This means if more cholesterol
comes from food, less is made
by the body. However, if you eat
a diet high in fat, your body may
not keep this balance and your
cholesterol
levels
rise.
High
cholesterol
is
more
likely
to
occur with certain diseases or if
you
have
a
family
history
of
high cholesterol. When you have
high levels o
