Amristatin works to reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein, which is considered an increase in one of the main factors in heart and artery diseases. The drug contributes to enhancing the levels of high-density lipoprotein, which works to transport excess fat to the liver to get rid of it.
Amristatin is also effective in reducing the levels of triglycerides in the blood, which is another type of fat associated with health complications such as pancreatitis and arterial disease. It is recommended to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and atherosclerosis in people who are more susceptible to these diseases, especially those who suffer from diabetes or other risk factors.
