CompositionStorvas 5 Tablet is used to lower high cholesterol and triglycerides in adults, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is usually prescribed as a long-term treatment alongside a diet low in saturated fat, and is often continued for many years to keep cholesterol levels under control.
It contains atorvastatin, a statin that reduces the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver. Take it as prescribed, at any time of day, with or without food, and continue taking it even when you feel well, as cholesterol control has no noticeable symptoms.
A diet low in saturated fat, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight and quitting smoking can help support better cholesterol levels alongside this medicine.
Before starting, tell your doctor about any liver or kidney problems and other medicines you take. Report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, or dark-coloured urine, as these can be early signs of a rare muscle problem.
