Aztor Ez 40 Tablet 10 consists of two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (40 mg): It is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that works by inhibiting an 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): It is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor. It 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.
