The active ingredient in Avas 80 Tablet 10 is called atorvastatin (80 mg). Here's how it works in the body:

• HMG-CoA reductase inhibition: Atorvastatin blocks an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your body. This particular enzyme plays a significant role in producing cholesterol in your liver.

• Reducing cholesterol levels: By blocking the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, atorvastatin effectively reduces the production of cholesterol in your body. This action subsequently leads to a decrease in "bad" low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides in your bloodstream.

• Increasing HDL cholesterol: Atorvastatin also has a slight effect on increasing levels of "good" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, contributing to a healthier balance of cholesterol in your body.

• Ensure that the medicine is stored in a place that is out of the reach of children.

• You should check the expiration date mentioned on the packaging and not use it past this date.

• Engaging in regular physical activity, like walking or cycling, will help manage high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

• Opt for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting your intake of saturated fats found in fatty meats and full-fat dairy products.
