What does it do?

Atorvastatin calcium trihydrate is a lipid-lowering agent belonging to the statin class, used to reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is primarily used for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

This ingredient inhibits the enzyme that promotes cholesterol synthesis in the liver, thereby reducing the amount of cholesterol produced in the blood. As a result, the accumulation of cholesterol in blood vessels can be decreased, potentially slowing the progression of atherosclerosis.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
