Atrovastatin Calcium 40mg Tablet

Atorvastatin Calcium 40 mg Tablet – Lowvas-40 belongs to the statin medication class, which is used to treat high cholesterol levels in the body. It helps to reduce blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad cholesterol, and increase levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good cholesterol. Dyslipidaemia is the medical term for the accumulation of dangerous lipid (fat) levels in the blood. In this condition, levels of triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad cholesterol) are always high (HDL or good cholesterol).

It contains the medication “Atorvastatin,” which delays the body’s production of cholesterol, so lowering the amount of cholesterol that can accumulate on artery walls and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. Atorvastatin inhibits the production of cholesterol that might build up in the arteries supplying the heart, brain, and other organs with blood. Lowering cholesterol levels helps prevent future cardiac diseases like heart attacks and strokes. Atorvastatin may also be prescribed to people with a family history of high cholesterol about coronary heart disease, type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis.

Uses of Atorvastatin Calcium 40 mg Tablet

Atorvastatin is used in combination with a healthy diet to help lower “bad” cholesterol and fats (such as LDL and triglycerides) while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL). It is a member of the class of medications known as “statins.” It functions by reducing the quantity of cholesterol the liver produces. Raising “good” cholesterol while lowering “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides reduces the risk of heart disease and aids in the prevention of strokes and heart attacks. Exercise, weight loss if overweight, and quitting smoking are some lifestyle changes that may help this drug work better, in addition to eating a healthy diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet).
