How Atorva 10mg Tablet works
Atorva Tablet contains atorvastatin, a statin that blocks an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is essential for the liver to produce cholesterol. By inhibiting this process, Atorva lowers levels of LDL and triglycerides in the blood while increasing HDL cholesterol. Lower cholesterol levels reduce the risk of plaque formation in arteries, improving blood flow and reducing strain on the heart. Over time, this helps prevent serious conditions like heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular problems. The medicine works best when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle changes.
