CAAT 80 Tablet

What is CAAT 80 mg tablet

The CAAT 80 mg tablet is used to manage high cholesterol levels (Hyperlipidemia) in the blood and reduce the risk of cardiovascular conditions. It contains Atorvastatin, which belongs to the medication class of statins.;

Atorvastatin blocks the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which makes cholesterol in the liver. When this enzyme is blocked, the ingredient helps to lower cholesterol production, leading to a decrease in overall cholesterol levels.;

This action causes the liver to absorb more Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) or bad cholesterol, reducing its levels in the blood. Subsequently, it lowers triglycerides and Very-Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) while increasing High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) or good cholesterol levels.;

This helps to manage the deposition of unhealthy fat/lipid levels in the blood, better known as Dyslipidaemia. In this condition, LDL and triglyceride (TG) levels are always high, and HDL levels are low.;

It also provides additional benefits, such as decreasing inflammation, improving blood vessel function and oxidative stress, and preventing blood clot formation. These end up reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.;

Manufactured by Nicholas Piramal India Ltd., this medication should be taken in the dosage and duration advised by your doctor. For best results, it is usually taken once daily at a fixed time.
