Description
Aztor 40mg Tablets contain Atorvastatin 40mg, a potent lipid-lowering medication belonging to the statin class (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors). This medication is specifically formulated to significantly reduce elevated levels of “bad” cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein – LDL cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood, while also contributing to an increase in “good” cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein – HDL cholesterol). Atorvastatin achieves its effect by inhibiting a crucial enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production, thereby preventing the accumulation of fatty plaque in the arteries (atherosclerosis). Aztor 40mg is prescribed to effectively lower the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and the need for heart surgery, particularly in individuals with high cholesterol or those at high cardiovascular risk. It is typically taken once daily, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan including diet and lifestyle modifications.
