Features:

• Cholesterol reduction: Atorvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production, thereby lowering levels of “bad” cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or LDL-C) and triglycerides in the blood.
• Cardiovascular protection: Orvast Tablet helps reduce the risk of heart-related complications, including heart attacks, strokes, and arterial revascularization procedures, in individuals with established cardiovascular disease or at high risk of developing it.
• Once-daily dosing: Typically, Orvast 20mg Tablet is taken orally once daily, with or without food, for optimal effectiveness.

Uses:
