Guiding you with care, every step of the way.
Atorvastatin is recommended to be taken orally for a long time after discharge from hospital after cerebral infarction. Try to keep LDL below 2.0mmol/l. During medication, liver function should be monitored regularly. If blood transaminase increases, it is recommended to stop the drug if it exceeds 3 times the normal value. The drug is a lipid-regulating drug that protects brain cells and stabilizes plaques. It can transform soft plaques in arterial vessels into hard plaques. It has therapeutic effects on cerebrovascular diseases and cardiovascular diseases, and also has certain preventive effects. These are independent risk factors for cerebral infarction. If the patient has active plaque formation, soft plaque shedding is also a cause of cerebral infarction.
