Astin syrup is used to reduce harmful cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It works to reduce cholesterol production in the liver, which helps prevent heart and artery diseases. Astin is taken orally in a daily dose determined by the doctor according to the patient's health condition and history of risk factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes. The patient must follow a low-fat diet and engage in regular physical activity during the treatment period to achieve maximum benefit from the drug.
Astin may cause some side effects such as stomach upset or mild muscle pain. Liver problems rarely occur, so periodic follow-up and liver function tests are recommended.
