g Tablet acts by inhibiting the enzyme involved in the formation of cholesterol level in your body. Thus, it decreases the levels of bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol levels. You should preferably take this medicine before going to bed at bedtime. Since the cholesterol production or build-up takes place majorly at night, when the body is in resting phase, it is more effective when taken at night. While on this medication, avoid high fat and fried meals and engage yourself in some exercises to stay active and gain faster benefit along with medication.
