Atvas 20 (3X10'S) (10'S) Atorvastatin 20 Mg By Alkem1

What is it used for?
Atorvastatin is used to lower high cholesterol, especially harmful LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. It also helps reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people at increased cardiovascular risk.

How does it work?
It reduces the liver’s production of cholesterol by blocking an enzyme involved in cholesterol formation. This helps the liver remove more LDL cholesterol from the blood.

How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed, with or without food. Take it regularly at the same time as directed and do not stop it without medical advice. Continue any recommended diet and exercise measures.

Common side effects
Headache, nausea, diarrhoea, indigestion, and muscle aches or joint pain may occur. Contact a doctor promptly if muscle pain or weakness is severe or persistent.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about liver disease, heavy alcohol use, thyroid problems, or a history of muscle problems. Seek medical advice for unexplained muscle pain, weakness, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. It is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Inform the doctor about all other medicines, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and cholesterol medicines, because interactions can increase the risk of muscle problems.
