Avas 10 Tablet

Avas 10 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains atorvastatin 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the statin class of medicines, which are used to help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Avas 10 Tablet is also used to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with certain heart and blood vessel risk factors. This Micro Labs, India product is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Atorvastatin in Avas 10 Tablet blocks an enzyme your liver uses to make cholesterol, so the liver removes more LDL from the blood. This tablet helps slow the buildup of fatty plaque in blood vessels, which can lower the chance of heart and circulation problems over time.

Avas 10 Tablet is the 10 mg strength, which is commonly used when a doctor wants a lower-to-moderate starting or maintenance dose of atorvastatin. Since this is the only Avas strength you sell, it fits patients who have been assessed by a clinician and are being treated with this exact dose rather than a higher or lower tablet strength. In general, atorvastatin tablets are adjusted over time based on cholesterol results and overall risk, not by self-selecting a dose.

• High LDL cholesterol
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• High triglycerides
• Prevention of heart attack and stroke
• Lowering cardiovascular risk in adults with risk factors

• Swallow Avas 10 Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber or pharmacist tells you otherwise.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember it.
• Follow your doctor’s exact instructions; do not change the dose on your own.
• Keep taking it even if you feel well, because cholesterol medicine works silently over time.

Avas 10 Tablet provides atorvastatin 10 mg per tablet. Many adults take it once daily, but the exact dose and whether it should be increased, decreased, or continued is decided by the prescriber based on cholesterol levels, other medicines, and overall cardiovascular risk. Do not take more than the amount your doctor prescribes for you, even if your cholesterol is still high.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
