Serial number WHAT ATOZET TABLET IS USED FOR Your doctor has prescribed ATOZET tablet to reduce the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. Cholesterol is one of several fatty substances found in the bloodstream. Your total cholesterol is made up mainly of LDL and HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the walls of your arteries forming plaque. Eventually this plaque build- up can lead to a narrowing of the arteries. This narrowing can slow or block blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and brain. This blocking of blood flow can result in a heart attack or stroke. HDL cholesterol is often called “good” cholesterol because it helps keep the bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries and protects against heart disease. Triglycerides are another form of fat in your blood that may increase your risk for heart disease. If you have heart disease, ATOZET reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, surgery to increase heart blood flow, or hospitalization for chest pain. HOW ATOZET TABLET WORKS High cholesterol can be treated in two main ways: LIFESTYLE CHANGES – including a cholesterol-lowering diet, increased physical activity, and weight management. MEDICATION – Cholesterol-lowering medicines are used together with lifestyle changes to help lower cholesterol. Your doctor has prescribed ATOZET to help lower your cholesterol.
