Lowering the amount of cholesterol reduces the chances of heart diseases and stroke and helps one remain healthier for longer.

Take it regularly and make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthy and staying active) to maximize the effectiveness of this medicine. Keep taking it even if you feel well.
