Atorvastatin Tablets IP 40 mg belong to the statin class of lipid-lowering agents. They work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This leads to a reduction in total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), and triglycerides, while slightly increasing HDL (good cholesterol).

Key Benefits:

• Lowers LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol.

• Reduces triglycerides in the blood.

• Slightly increases HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).

• Helps prevent cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.

• Supports long-term management of hyperlipidemia.

Indications:

• Primary hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels).

• Mixed dyslipidemia.

• Prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients (heart attack, stroke).

• Familial hypercholesterolemia (genetic high cholesterol).

• Adjunct therapy along with diet and lifestyle modifications.
