Storvas 10 Tablet

Drug | Tablet

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.

Headache,abdominal pain,constipation,diarrhoea,nausea,flatulence,muscle pain (myalgia),weakness,increased liver enzymes

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.

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin/erythromycin, azole antifungals, HIV protease inhibitors) and grapefruit juice may increase atorvastatin levels and muscle toxicity risk; ciclosporin increases risk; fibrates (especially gemfibrozil), niacin increase myopathy risk; warfarin may require INR monitoring; digoxin levels may increase; rifampicin and other enzyme inducers may reduce effect.

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protected from moisture and light. Keep in original strip and out of reach of children.
