Atorva E Tablet 10 consists of two active ingredients that work together to control cholesterol levels:

• Atorvastatin (10 mg): This substance works by inhibiting your body's enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This particular enzyme plays a crucial role in forming cholesterol inside your liver. By blocking its activity, atorvastatin effectively reduces the amount of cholesterol produced in the body. It also increases the number of LDL receptors on liver cells, enhancing the uptake and breakdown of LDL cholesterol.
• Ezetimibe (10 mg): This ingredient acts at the brush border of your small intestine, inhibiting cholesterol absorption from this region. Consequently, this decreases the amount of cholesterol delivered to your liver. The reduced delivery of cholesterol to your liver results in a decrease in hepatic cholesterol stores and an increase in cholesterol clearance from your blood.

• Store Atorva E Tablet 10 at normal room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.
• Keep the medicine in its original packaging to protect it from moisture.
• Remember to place it securely, out of sight and reach of children.

• Follow a low-cholesterol diet. This means reducing intake of foods high in saturated fats, such as red meat and full-fat dairy products.
• Incorporate regular physical exercise into your routine. It can help increase 'good' cholesterol levels while reducing 'bad' cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
