Lorvast 40Mg 30Tab

Lorvast is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels in the blood. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which work to lower levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase levels of good cholesterol (HDL). This medication helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Lorvast works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is a key enzyme in the process of cholesterol production in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, Lorvast helps decrease the buildup of fats in the arteries, leading to improved blood flow and reduced risks of heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, it may help improve overall vascular health.
