Atorva 80 Tablet contains atorvastatin (80 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase: Atorvastatin acts by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your body. This enzyme is important in producing cholesterol inside your body.
• Reduces blood cholesterol: By inhibiting the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, atorvastatin effectively reduces cholesterol levels in your blood.
• Enhances LDL breakdown: Atorvastatin boosts the number of LDL receptors on liver cells, which increases the breakdown of LDL.
• Manages triglyceride synthesis: Atorvastatin also controls the creation of triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), improving the balance of lipids in your body.
• Boosts HDL levels: By complex mechanisms, atorvastatin raises the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good" cholesterol, in your body. This action further contributes to lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease.
