Product Introduction
Atorva 40 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called statins. It is used to lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and to reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that builds up in your blood vessels and causes narrowing, which may lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Atorva 40 Tablet is a widely prescribed medicine and is regarded as safe for long-term use. It can be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach. You can take it at any time of day but try to take it at the same time each day. Most people with high cholesterol do not feel ill, but if you stop taking this medicine, your condition could get worse. This may lead to your cholesterol levels creeping up again and increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
It is important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly. This medicine is only one part of a treatment program which should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, moderation of alcohol intake and weight reduction. You can eat normally while taking this medicine, but try to avoid foods that are high in fat. Â Common side effects of this medicine include muscle pain, weakness, nausea, headache, and stomach pain. These are usually mild and disappear after a short time. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you notice any yellowing of your eyes or get repeated or unexplained muscle pains.
This medicine should not be used in some conditions such as liver disease. Also, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should not take this medicine as it may harm the developing baby. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels while taking this medicine, as it may lead to an increase in blood sugar levels.

Benefits of Atorva Tablet
In Prevention of Heart attack
High levels of cholesterol can cause your blood vessels to narrow (atherosclerosis) and put you at risk of having a stroke or heart disease. Lowering the amount of this fat reduces the chances of this happening and helps you remain healthier for longer. Keep taking this medicine even if you feel well.
In High cholesterol
High cholesterol is a condition in which excess cholesterol builds up in the blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart problems. Atorva 40 Tablet helps lower bad cholesterol and improve good cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of blocked arteries and cardiovascular complications.
In High triglycerides
High triglycerides occur when excess fats build up in the blood, increasing the risk of heart disease and pancreatitis. Atorva 40 Tablet helps lower triglyceride levels and improves the balance of fats in the blood, supporting better heart health.
In Prevention of heart attack and stroke
Heart attack and stroke can happen when fatty deposits block the blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the heart or brain. Atorva 40 Tablet helps lower bad cholesterol and reduces the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries. This helps improve blood flow and lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart-related complications.

How Atorva Tablet works
Atorva 40 Tablet is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required in the body to make cholesterol. It thus lowers “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, raising the level of “good” cholesterol (HDL).
