About Diabastat 4 Tablet
Diabastat 4 Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called 'statins' or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors primarily used to lower bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Additionally, Diabastat 4 Tablet reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in future. High cholesterol known as hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemia occurs when there is an excess of the unhealthy balance of cholesterol in the blood. When the cholesterol level is high in the blood, your arteries get narrowed and clogged, contributing to heart diseases, like stroke and heart attack. Two cholesterol types are found in our body, namely, good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) and bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein). Good cholesterol is good for our heart and helps in reducing the bad cholesterol in our body. On the other hand, excess bad cholesterol (LDL) leads to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.
