Torvacol 20Mg 30 Tab

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

Torvacol works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is a key enzyme in the cholesterol production process in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, the medication helps decrease the buildup of fats in the arteries, thereby lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, Torvacol can improve vascular health and reduce inflammation associated with heart diseases.
