Method of use, course and dosage Torvacard

Before prescribing Torvakard®, a patient should be recommended a standard hypolipidemic diet, which he should continue to follow throughout the entire period of therapy.

The initial dose is on average ten mg once per day. The dose varies from ten to eighty mg once a day. The drug can be taken at any time of the day, regardless of the time of eating. The dose is selected taking into account the initial levels of Hs-LDL, the purpose of the therapy and the individual effect. At the beginning of the treatment and/or during the dose increase of Torvakard® it is necessary to control the lipid levels in blood plasma every two to four weeks and to corrugate the dose accordingly. The maximum daily dose is 80 mg per dose.

Pharmacological effect Torvacard

Hypolipidemic preparation from the group of statins. A selective, competitive inhibitor of GMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that converts 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A into mevalonic acid, a precursor to steroids including cholesterol.
the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and the increase in the number of LDL receptors in the liver on the cell surface, which leads to an increase in LDL uptake and catabolism.
Atorvastatin reduces cholesterol (Hs) and lipoprotein levels in blood plasma by inhibiting GMG-CoA reductase
