WHAT ATOSTIN IS AND WHAT IT 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 and triglycerides
in the blood when a low fat diet
and life style changes on their own have failed. If you are at an
increased risk of heart disease, Atostin
can also be used to reduce such risk even if your cholesterol levels
are normal. You should maintain a
standard cholesterol lowering diet during treatment.
