Pharmacological group

Hypolipidemic agents. HMG CoA reductase inhibitors.

Pharmacological properties

This is a remedy that corrects fat metabolism. The active ingredient selectively and competitively inhibits the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA into a cholesterol precursor in the liver. Promotes an increase in the number of LDL receptors on the surface of liver cells, increasing catabolism and seizure. It also slows down the production of VLDL, thereby reducing the total content of “bad fats” in the blood.
