Estarol^®

Estarol (atorvastatin) is a medication that belongs to the statin class, drugs used to reduce elevated blood cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.

Estarol is used to treat hypercholesterolemia, a condition in which blood LDL cholesterol levels are elevated. It is also prescribed to people with cardiovascular risk factors or a history of heart disease to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.

In patients with established coronary heart disease, Estarol helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular complications.

The mechanism of action of Estarol is based on its ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver. This enzyme is essential for cholesterol synthesis in the body. Through the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase, Estarol reduces the production of endogenous cholesterol in the liver.

Estarol decreases the production of LDL cholesterol in the liver, resulting in a significant reduction of blood LDL cholesterol levels. It may also raise HDL cholesterol (“good cholesterol”) levels, and it can reduce blood triglyceride levels.

It also helps reduce inflammation and stabilize atheromatous plaques in the arteries, which decreases the risk of cardiovascular events.

Estarol contains atorvastatin calcium and is available in 20 mg and 40 mg strengths. Both come in a box of 30 or 100 tablets and follow the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standard.

Estarol is used as part of a comprehensive approach to managing cardiovascular disease, which also includes lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and physical activity.

Estarol is manufactured according to the strict specifications of the United States Pharmacopeia to ensure consistency and superior quality. Crassula Pharma certifies that all its products are manufactured in accordance with GMP parameters.
