Stator 80 Tablet

Stator 80 Tablet contains atorvastatin 80 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the statin class of medicines, which are used to lower cholesterol and triglycerides and to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people at higher cardiovascular risk. Stator 80 Tablet is a prescription medicine made by Abbott Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. and is taken as an oral tablet. This strength is the highest tablet strength in the Stator range and is used when a clinician wants a stronger cholesterol-lowering effect.

How it works: Atorvastatin works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that helps make cholesterol, so the liver removes more LDL cholesterol from the blood. In Stator 80 Tablet form, the medicine is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to deliver this cholesterol-lowering effect.

Stator 80 Tablet is a high-strength option compared with Stator 10 Tablet, Stator 20 Tablet, and Stator 40 Tablet. It is generally chosen for people who need a larger atorvastatin dose to reach lipid goals or to reduce cardiovascular risk after a doctor has assessed them; it is not meant for someone just starting treatment without medical review. Because it is the 80 mg strength, it may produce a stronger LDL-lowering effect than the lower strengths, but it also deserves closer attention to side effects and interactions.

• High LDL cholesterol

Each Stator 80 Tablet provides atorvastatin 80 mg, which is a high-strength dose.
