Vonotor 20MG Tab

Tablet

Used to lower high cholesterol and triglycerides (dyslipidaemia) and to reduce risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events in at-risk patients.

Atorvastatin is an HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor (statin). It reduces cholesterol synthesis in the liver, leading to increased LDL receptor activity and lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while modestly increasing HDL.

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