Atchol 20mg Tablet is a medication from the statin class of drugs, primarily used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce the risk of serious heart conditions such as heart attack and stroke. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that, when present in excess, can accumulate inside blood vessels, narrowing them and disrupting healthy blood flow. This increases the risk of cardiovascular events.
Atchol 20mg is commonly prescribed for long-term use and is considered safe when taken as advised by a healthcare professional. Although high cholesterol typically does not cause noticeable symptoms, it can silently contribute to the development of heart disease. That’s why it’s important to continue taking Atchol regularly, even if you feel well.
It works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, weight control, smoking cessation, and reduced alcohol consumption. Routine monitoring of cholesterol levels is also essential to track progress and adjust treatment if necessary.

Benefits of Atchol 20mg
- Lowers LDL (“Bad”) Cholesterol
Atchol effectively reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is the harmful type of cholesterol that contributes to plaque buildup in the arteries. - Raises HDL (“Good”) Cholesterol
It helps increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which aids in removing excess cholesterol from the blood vessels. - Reduces Triglycerides
The tablet also lowers triglycerides, another form of fat in the blood that can raise the risk of heart disease. - Prevents Atherosclerosis
By controlling cholesterol, Atchol slows or prevents the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of arteries). - Decreases Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke
Regular use significantly reduces the chances of developing life-threatening heart events.
How Atchol 20mg Tablet works
Atchol 20 Tablet works by blocking the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By inhibiting this enzyme, the medicine lowers levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol. This helps improve the overall lipid profile and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications. Over time, it contributes to healthier arteries and improved blood flow, supporting long-term heart health.
