VASTATOR belongs to a group of medicines called statins, which are involved in the regulation of lipids (fats).

VASTATOR is used to lower blood levels of the lipids called cholesterol and triglycerides when a low-fat diet combined with lifestyle changes are not enough. If you have risk factors for heart disease, VASTATOR may also be used to reduce your risk even if your cholesterol level is normal. You should continue to eat a standard low-cholesterol diet for the duration of treatment.
