Atorva 40 Mg 30Tab

Atorva is a medication used to treat high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It belongs to a class of drugs known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. This medication helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Atorva works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol production in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, the drug helps increase the body's ability to remove harmful cholesterol from the blood. This leads to improved levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and reduced levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides. Consequently, Atorva contributes to lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
