About Atherochek 10 mg Tablet
Atherochek 10 mg Tablet is a combination of medications used to treat Hyperlipidemia (an excess of lipids in the blood) and Hyperhomocysteinemia (high levels of homocysteine, an amino acid linked to cardiovascular diseases due to deficiencies of vitamins). Hyperlipidaemia, often known as high cholesterol, occurs when your blood has an abnormally high level of a fatty component called cholesterol. Too much cholesterol might cause blood vessel blockage. It increases your chances of having heart problems or having a stroke.
Atherochek 10 mg Tablet contains Atorvastatin, Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine hydrochloride. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medicine that works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) required to make cholesterol. Thus Atherochek 10 mg Tablet lowers the amount of fat or cholesterol deposition (plaque) in the heart's arteries, thereby reducing the chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the future. Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin and Pyridoxine hydrochloride collectively reduce Homocysteine levels. Thus, it aids in the treatment of hyperhomocysteinemia.
Take Atherochek 10 mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Atherochek 10 mg Tablet for as long as your doctor prescribes it.

Disease/Condition Glossary
High cholesterol: Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver to protect nerves, make tissue, and various hormones. Our body also receives cholesterol from food, like cooking oils, eggs, meats, and dairy products. Excess cholesterol is bad for our health. There are two types of cholesterol: ' bad cholesterol' and 'good cholesterol'. Bad cholesterol comprises low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides (TG), while good cholesterol consists of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Usually, there are no specific symptoms of raised or high cholesterol levels but a large deposition of cholesterol in the arteries (plaque) or heart blockage. Blocked artery or plaque formation in the heart's arteries can lead to chest pain (angina), heart attack, or stroke. So it is advisable to have complete cholesterol tests (lipid profile tests) at least once a year. It will help you closely monitor your heart health and risk of heart attack and stroke.
Hyperhomocysteinemia: Hyperhomocysteinemia refers to the condition where there is greater than 15 micromol/L of homocysteine in the blood. This condition is present in a wide range of diseases, and in many cases, it is an independent risk factor for more serious medical conditions. Hyperhomocysteinemia itself does not have any symptoms, but if it develops due to a deficiency in vitamins B6, B12, or folate, a person may experience: weakness, dizziness, and sores on the mouth or tongue.
