LIPIDATOR 10 MG – 10 TABLETS

LIPIDATOR 10 MG contains atorvastatin, a potent statin used to treat high cholesterol and related conditions. It works by inhibiting an enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) responsible for cholesterol production in the liver. This leads to a significant decrease in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications. LIPIDATOR 10 MG is ideal for patients with hypercholesterolemia or those at high risk for heart disease.
