Lorvast 10Mg 30Tab

Lorvast is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels in the blood, belonging to a class of drugs known as statins. This medication helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by lowering levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increasing levels of good cholesterol (HDL).

Lorvast works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol production in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, Lorvast helps decrease fat accumulation in the arteries, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, it may help improve overall vascular health.
