Atmont 20 Tablet is a medication from the statin group, used to reduce cholesterol levels in the body and lower the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can build up in the walls of blood vessels, causing them to narrow and increasing the risk of serious cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. By managing cholesterol levels effectively, Atmont helps maintain healthy blood flow and protects the heart.
This medicine is often prescribed for long-term use and is considered safe when taken as directed by a doctor. Although most people with high cholesterol do not feel unwell, stopping the medicine may raise cholesterol again, leading to increased cardiovascular risk. Regular cholesterol monitoring, along with lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and exercise, enhances the effectiveness of treatment.

Benefits of Atmont 20
- Prevents Heart Attack and Stroke: By lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels, Atmont helps prevent the narrowing of blood vessels, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- Lowers LDL (“Bad”) Cholesterol: It significantly decreases low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is the harmful form of cholesterol that contributes to plaque buildup in arteries.
- Raises HDL (“Good”) Cholesterol: Atmont increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, which help remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream.
- Reduces Triglycerides: The medicine also lowers triglyceride levels, another type of fat in the blood that contributes to cardiovascular risk.
- Supports Long-Term Heart Health: Continuous use helps maintain healthier blood vessels and overall heart function over time.
How Atmont 20 Tablet works
Atmont 20 Tablet works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is essential for producing cholesterol in the body. By blocking its action, Atmont reduces the liver’s production of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. At the same time, it helps increase HDL cholesterol, which carries cholesterol away from the arteries. This balanced effect improves lipid profiles and supports cardiovascular health.
