Description
About Pivasta 4mg
Pivasta 4 mg Tablet is a statin, a type of medicine used to lower Cholesterol and the risk of heart disease.
The primary ingredient in this medicine is Pitavastatin. Cholesterol is a fat that gets stuck in your blood vessels and narrows them. This can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Pivasta 4 mg is manufactured by Zydus Alidac. It has received highly positive reviews and is recommended for lowering Cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart disease.
Uses
Along with a healthy diet, Pitavastatin is used to help lower “bad” Cholesterol and fats (like LDL and Triglycerides) and raise “good” Cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It is a “statin,” which is a type of medicine.
High Cholesterol
High cholesterol can be caused by what you eat, how much you smoke, and your genes. High cholesterol doesn’t usually make you sick, so if you’re at risk, it’s essential to check your cholesterol regularly.
Prevention of Heart Attack & Stroke
The heart muscles need oxygen to keep functioning. When fatty substances called plaque build up in the arteries, they prevent the oxygen-rich blood from reaching the heart muscle cells, which is bad for the muscles.
Working
Pivasta 4 mg Tablet is a drug that lowers lipids (statin). It stops the body from making Cholesterol by obstructing an enzyme called HMG-CoA-reductase. It does this by lowering “bad” Cholesterol (LDL) and Triglycerides and raising “good” Cholesterol (HDL).
