Abana - 50 Tablets

Himalaya Herbals Abana

Actions:
Hypolipidemic
Anti-hypertensive
Cardio-tonic

Normalizes lipid profile: The natural ingredients in Abana regulate serum lipids by effectively reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL) and triglyceride levels. It also increases the cardioprotective high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
Anti-hypertensive/antistress: Abana reduces heart sensitivity to adrenergic-stimulation (drugs that stimulate the nervous system). Abana also stabilizes the raised systolic blood pressure (blood pressure when the heart is contracting) and diastolic blood pressure (minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilation of blood-filled ventricles of the heart). Abana effectively reduces physical, chemical and biological stress, which normalizes cardiac functions.
Inhibits platelet aggregation: The drug reduces abnormal platelet adhesion and aggregation. Hence, it is beneficial in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions, which require the inhibition of platelet aggregation.

Indications:
Dyslipidemia (elevated cholesterol , lipids and lipoproteins in the blood))
Mild to moderate hypertension
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases requiring the inhibition of platelet aggregation
As an adjunct to angina treatment in patients with cardiac risk factors

Key ingredients:
Arjuna (Arjuna) is a potent hypolipidemic (reduction of lipid concentration in the blood), responsible for reducing total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thereby helping in the management of atherosclerosis (fatty deposits along the artery walls). As a cardioprotective, the herb prevents oxidative damage to the heart and stabilizes blood pressure.
Indian Bdellium (Guggul) effectively lowers triglyceride levels, total cholesterol levels and free fatty acid levels, through liver lipolysis (the breakdown of lipids in the liver), increased fecal bile acid excretion, inhibiting the biosynthesis of hepatic cholesterol (production of cholesterol in the liver) and inhibiting the oxidation of LDL.

Dosage:
Treatment – 2 tablets 2x a day until lipid levels are normalised
Maintenance therapy- 1 tablet 2 x a day

Side effects:
Abana is not known to have any side effects if taken as per the prescribed dosage.
