What is Atorvastatin?
Active Ingredients: Atorvastatin
Atorvastatin Tablets are a drug used to treat high cholesterol and lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, coronary heart disease, and other heart complications in patients with risk factors. It is typically used in combination with a low-fat/low-cholesterol diet and other lifestyle changes.
Atorvastatin Tablets are also indicated for the treatment of familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia in children and teenagers.
