Atorvastatin - Lipid-Lowering Drug

Vass 20mg Tablet is prescribed to reduce elevated high blood cholesterol levels (hyperlipidemia) when diet and lifestyle changes are not sufficient. It helps lower bad cholesterol and triglycerides, reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and related health issues.

  • For adults and children (aged 10 years or above).
  • Follow a cholesterol-lowering diet and lifestyle changes along with medication.
  • Avoid alcohol or grapefruit juice during treatment.

Inform your doctor if you have lung, liver, kidney, or heart problems, diabetes, thyroid issues, or a family history of muscle disorders. Notify about ongoing antibiotic use (e.g., fusidic acid). Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before using.

Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and liver functions is essential during therapy, especially for diabetic patients, as Vass 20mg Tablet may affect these parameters.

How does Vass 20mg Tablet work?

Atorvastatin, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, selectively inhibits this enzyme, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol production. By reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver and increasing hepatic LDL receptors, it lowers plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein levels.

Quick Suggestions:
Indication of Vass 20mg Tablet

When diet and non-pharmacological methods are insufficient for reducing high total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B (Apo-B), and triglyceride levels in the following conditions, Vass 20 is prescribed as an adjuvant to diet:

  1. Lowering total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (heterozygous and homozygous).
  2. Treating patients with combined dyslipidemia having high cholesterol and triglycerides (Fredrickson Type Ia and Ib).
  3. Treating hypertriglyceridemia patients with elevated blood triglyceride levels (Fredrickson Type IV).
  4. Treating dysbetalipoproteinemia patients (Fredrickson Type III).
Pharmacology
  • Atorvastatin, the active ingredient in Vass 20mg Tablet, is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
  • It blocks the action of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis.
  • Inhibition of this enzyme leads to a decrease in the production of cholesterol in the liver.

By inhibiting cholesterol synthesis, Vass 20mg Tablet lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. Atorvastatin increases the number of LDL receptors on the liver cells, enhancing the removal of LDL cholesterol from the blood. It also reduces triglyceride levels, another type of fat in the blood. Vass 20mg Tablet may increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often termed "good" cholesterol.

  • By modulating cholesterol levels, Vass 20mg Tablet helps in preventing the accumulation of cholesterol in blood vessels.
  • It is effective in lowering the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.

Understanding the mechanism of action provides insights into how Vass 20mg Tablet addresses lipid abnormalities and contributes to cardiovascular health.

Contraindications

Avoid in patients hypersensitive to any component of atorvastatin, with active liver disease, unexplained chronic transaminase increases, or a history of severe reactions to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
