Frequently asked questions
What should I know about high cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a type of fat present in your blood. Total cholesterol levels are determined by the total amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the body. LDL cholesterol, also known as 'bad' cholesterol, can build up in the walls of your blood vessels and slow or obstruct blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs, potentially leading to heart disease and stroke. On the other hand, HDL cholesterol, referred to as 'good' cholesterol, helps prevent bad cholesterol from building up in blood vessels. High levels of triglycerides are also detrimental to your health.

Yes, taking Vitiate 10mg Tablet can result in muscle problems or muscle injury due to reduced oxygen supply to the muscle cells, leading to fatigue, muscle pain, tenderness, or muscle weakness.
