CompositionStorvas 10 Tablet is used to manage high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It contains atorvastatin, a statin medication that works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver.
By lowering cholesterol levels, it helps reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.
Storvas is also used in reducing the risk of heart attack and the probability of performing surgeries for heart patients. It belongs to the class of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors. The HMG-CoA inhibitors or statins reduce the levels of low-density lipoproteins(LDLs) and triglycerides and increase the levels of high-density lipoproteins(HDLs).
Apart from the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties of atorvastatin, it is also an effective antioxidant. Another use is to reduce the cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood in children aged between ten to seventeen years, who have a disease called familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (a condition characterised where cholesterol can not be removed from the body quickly).
