ATORVASTAIN 20MG TABLET

Atorvastatin 20mg is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which work by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol. By reducing levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol, atorvastatin helps to prevent the buildup of fatty deposits in blood vessels. This action helps improve blood flow and reduces the risk of plaque formation, which can lead to blockages. Atorvastatin is typically prescribed for individuals with high cholesterol, those with a history of heart disease, or those at high risk of developing cardiovascular problems.
