Mactor 10 Tablet 10 contains Atorvastatin 10 mg, a cholesterol-lowering medicine. It works in the following ways:

• It blocks an enzyme in the liver (HMG-CoA reductase) that is responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the body.
• This leads to reduced cholesterol production in the liver.
• It also increases the expression of LDL receptors in the liver, enhancing the clearance of circulating lipids from the blood.
