Atorva 40 mg is a treatment medication used for reducing the blood level of cholesterol and lowering the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

When blood vessels get narrow the flow of blood is affected and the risk of stroke or heart attack is increased. It is considered safe for long-term treatment and can be taken with or without food. Along with this medication, it is important to take care of your food intake and other habits. Try to include healthy and wholesome food products, reduce or eliminate smoking, alcohol consumption, and intake of fatty foods.
Description
How does Atorva 40 mg Work
Atorva 40 mg tablets contain atorvastatin as the active ingredient which is HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoenzymeA) reductase inhibitor. HMG-CoA-reductase is essential for the production of VLDL cholesterol in the liver. Atorva 40 mg binds to the LDL receptors of the hepatic cells which increases the uptake of LDL and its breakdown. The overall action of Atorva lowers the levels of LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and increases the good cholesterol – HDL.
