SILTAT-AM
Description_Effects
SILTAT-AM is a fixed-dose combination of Amlodipine and Atorvastatin, formulated to manage both high blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol levels (dyslipidemia). This dual-action therapy is especially beneficial for patients at high risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, offering comprehensive protection through blood pressure and lipid control. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly and reducing the workload on the heart. It effectively lowers blood pressure, helps prevent chest pain (angina), and reduces the risk of heart-related complications. Atorvastatin is a statin that lowers cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver. It helps reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels while increasing "good" HDL cholesterol. This slows the buildup of plaque in the arteries and supports better blood flow. By addressing two major cardiovascular risk factors in a single tablet, SILTAT-AM simplifies treatment and enhances patient adherence. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional, alongside lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and smoking cessation for best results.
