Atorva 40 Tablet is used to lower high cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular diseases. It works by blocking the production of cholesterol in the liver, helping to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL), lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
A doctor typically prescribes Atorva 40 Tablet for patients with high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, or "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides in their blood. This medication may also be prescribed for individuals with a family history of heart disease or who have a higher risk of developing heart disease due to other risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
