Atorvastatin Tablet 20 mg

What is Atorvastatin Tablet 20 mg?

Atorvastatin Tablet 20 mg is used in conjunction with diet, weight management, and exercise to lower the heart attack risk and stroke, as well as the necessity for heart surgery in persons who have heart problems or are at risk of a heart attack. Atorvastatin is also used to lower levels of fatty substances in the blood, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides while increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ('good cholesterol'). It works by reducing the level of cholesterol that can build up on the walls of arteries and obstruct the blood supply to the heart, brain, and other organs of the body by inhibiting the creation of cholesterol in the body.

How it Works

Atorvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering drug (statin). It acts by preventing an enzyme called HMG-CoA-reductase, which is necessary for the body to produce cholesterol. As a result, it lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing "good" cholesterol levels (HDL).
