Lorvast 20Mg 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 the cholesterol production process in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, this medication helps improve blood lipid levels, thereby decreasing the risk of fat accumulation in the arteries. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, contributing to overall heart health. Lorvast is used as part of a comprehensive system that includes a healthy diet and exercise.
