Tonact 10

Atorvastatin (10mg)

Used to treat high cholesterol (hypercholesterolaemia) and mixed dyslipidaemia; helps reduce risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular events in at-risk patients.

Atorvastatin is a statin (HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor) that reduces cholesterol production in the liver. It lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides and can modestly increase HDL (good cholesterol), helping prevent plaque buildup in arteries.

Oral tablet. Take as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Continue diet and lifestyle measures; do not stop without medical advice.
