Statin-10 Tablet contains lovastatin (10 mg), which has a specific impact on your body as follows:

• Inhibits HMG CoA Reductase: Lovastatin works by blocking an enzyme called HMGCoA reductase in your body. This enzyme plays a key role in forming cholesterol inside your body.

• Decreases Blood Cholesterol: By blocking the activity of HMGCoA reductase, lovastatin effectively reduces blood cholesterol levels.

• Increases LDL Cholesterol Uptake: Because lovastatin decreases cholesterol production within cells, this causes an increase in LDL receptors on cell surfaces which results in more LDL cholesterol being removed from the bloodstream.

• Modifies Other Blood Lipids: Apart from lowering LDL and total cholesterol, lovastatin also reduces levels of verylowdensity lipoprotein (VLDL), another type of bad cholesterol, and increases highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) or 'good' cholesterol levels.

• Store Statin-10 Tablet at a controlled room temperature between 2025°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• Be sure to check and adhere to the expiry date before taking it.
