What is Atorlip 10 Mg?
Atorvastatin, the active ingredient in ATORLIP 10MG TABLET, is a lipid-lowering medication. When food and lifestyle changes are insufficient, it is used to bring down patients' high blood cholesterol levels (hyperlipidaemia).
When there are abnormally high amounts of bad cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) in the blood, this is called hyperlipidaemia. Without treatment, this accumulation of fat in the blood vessels can restrict blood flow to essential organs, increasing the risk of cardiac arrest, stroke, and other complications.
Heart attacks, strokes, and angina are just some of the health issues that can be avoided with the use of ATORLIP 10MG TABLET because of its ability to lower blood cholesterol levels. Both adults and kids can take Atorlip 10mg Tablet.
