Atorvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG‑CoA reductase, reducing cholesterol production in the liver. It lowers LDL and triglycerides and can modestly raise HDL, helping reduce plaque buildup and cardiovascular risk.
Tablet; take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Continue diet and exercise advice; do not stop without medical advice.
Common side effects of ATHEART 20MG TAB may include:
Avoid use in active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevation of liver enzymes.
