This medication is commonly known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or 'statin'. It supports patients with high cholesterol by lowering the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. This drug has the capabilities to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke or other health problems patients may experience with risk factors of heart disease. Constructive changes in diet and lifestyles are recommended to enhance the effectiveness of this drug.
Statin medications such as Atorvastatin can help to reduce cholesterol levels in cases where lifestyle changes on their own have failed. Most patients will not necessarily notice any changes as high cholesterol rarely shows any symptoms. However, when left untreated the condition can cause serious health risks such as coronary disease, angina and stroke. If you buy Atorvastatin online and significantly lower your cholesterol levels, you can increase your life expectancy if you are at serious risk of cholesterol-related diseases.
The body naturally creates cholesterol, as it is necessary for the production of cells and hormones in the body. This type of cholesterol is known as HDL or high-density lipoprotein. The LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is what is often referred to as “bad” cholesterol, as it can settle on the walls of the arteries and prevent the blood from flowing easily. Statin medications work by blocking the enzymes, which are instrumental in creating LDL, thereby reducing the chances of heart failure.
If you forget to take this medication at any time for any reason, you should take the medication you’ve missed as soon as you remember. Alternatively, if your next dose is scheduled for less than 12 hours away, it is critical that you do not take extra medicine to make up your dosage.
Most patients suffering from high cholesterol or triglycerides can safely buy Atorvastatin online in order to treat the condition. You will not be prescribed the medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you suffer from any medical conditions which affect your kidneys. You may not be able to take Atorvastatin if you are already taking other medications, as they can change the way your body processes the ingredients. These include: certain antibiotics, medications that change the way your immune system works or other medications for blood pressure or controlling the production of lipids.
Atorvastatin is available in dosages of 10mg, 20mg, 40mg or 80mg. Which dosage you need will be determined by your doctor. After four weeks, your dose may be altered slightly, depending on the effect it is having but it is important to not take a higher dose than you have been prescribed. Large quantities of alcohol should not be mixed with Atorvastatin, and statins and grapefruit are also ill advised as a combination, given the nature of the fruit's compounds, which limit the body's ability to digest the medication.
As with all prescription medications, if you buy Atorvastatin you may suffer from some side effects, but they are usually rare and pass quickly when the body adjusts to the ingredients. However, around one in 10,000 patients suffer from more serious side effects, which would require immediate medical attention. These include: allergic reactions (characterised by a swelling of the face or difficulty breathing), peeling or blistering of the skin and muscle pain. Some of the more common side effects are nausea, headaches, dizziness or nasal congestion.
