Description
Avas 40mg Tablets contain Atorvastatin 40mg, a potent lipid-lowering medication from the statin class. Atorvastatin works by competitively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in the liver responsible for the production of cholesterol. This action significantly reduces the levels of “bad” cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein – LDL cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood, while also helping to increase “good” cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein – HDL cholesterol). By preventing the accumulation of fatty plaques in arteries, Avas 40mg is crucial in reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and the need for revascularization procedures in individuals with high cholesterol or those at increased cardiovascular risk. This strength is often prescribed when a greater reduction in LDL-C is required. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food
