About This Medicine

Composition: Atorvastatin Calcium 20mg
Uses: High cholesterol, heart disease prevention

How it works

Atorvastatin blocks an enzyme in the liver (HMG-CoA reductase) that the body needs to make cholesterol. With less cholesterol being produced, the liver pulls more LDL out of the blood, which lowers your overall LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while modestly raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol.

Lower LDL slows the buildup of fatty plaques inside artery walls (atherosclerosis), which reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. Atorvastatin is taken long-term — the cholesterol-lowering effect appears within 2 weeks, and the cardiovascular benefit builds up over months and years of consistent use.
