Atorvastatin 10 mg
Treatment of high cholesterol (hypercholesterolaemia, mixed dyslipidaemia) and high triglycerides; prevention of cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in at-risk patients as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle changes.
Atorvastatin is an HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that reduces cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This increases LDL receptor activity, lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides and modestly raising HDL, thereby reducing plaque formation and cardiovascular risk.
Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Continue cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise; do not stop without medical advice.
Common side effects of Storvas 10 Tablet may include:
Not recommended in pregnancy; avoid during breastfeeding. Use with caution in liver disease, heavy alcohol use, hypothyroidism, kidney impairment, and in elderly due to higher muscle-related risk. Seek medical help if you develop unexplained muscle pain/weakness, fever, dark urine (risk of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis) or jaundice. Periodic lipid profile and liver function tests may be advised.
