CAAT 80 Tablet

CAAT 80 Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains atorvastatin 80 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the statin class, which is used to lower unhealthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels and to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people at higher cardiovascular risk. CAAT 80 Tablet is taken by mouth as a tablet, and its use is based on a doctor’s assessment of your cholesterol levels and overall heart health risk. It is manufactured by Abbott Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Atorvastatin in CAAT 80 Tablet blocks an enzyme in the liver that the body uses to make cholesterol. By lowering the liver’s cholesterol production and helping the liver remove more LDL cholesterol from the blood, this tablet helps improve lipid levels over time.

CAAT 80 Tablet is a high-strength atorvastatin tablet, so it is generally chosen only when a doctor decides that a lower dose is not enough or when a stronger cholesterol-lowering effect is needed. Since there are no other CAAT strengths in our range, this product stands on its own as the only available option and should be used only as prescribed for the patient’s specific treatment plan. Because it is a higher-strength tablet, it may be more likely to be selected for patients already assessed for statin therapy rather than for first-time self-directed use.
