STATIX?

Biocon offers a wide range of metabolic which includes statix. Composition: atorvastatin 10mg, 20mg, 40mg & 80mg tablets. Mechanism of action: atorvastatin belongs to the category of statins which inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme a (hmg-coa) reductase. The synthesis of mevalonic acid is impeded, which is a rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis. This results in a decrease in intracellular cholesterol, leading to an increase in the number of synthesis of ldl receptors and increased clearance of ldl cholesterol in the plasma. Hmg-coa reductase inhibitors may also lower plasma cholesterol levels by decreasing hepatic production of vldl and ldl cholesterol. Indications: treatment of dyslipidemia (lipid disorders) - helps patients lower "bad cholesterol" and thus lower vascular risk
