Description
Atorvastatin 40mg Film-Coated Tablets by Teva is a prescription-only medicine belonging to a class of drugs known as statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors). It is used to lower high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. Each calendar pack contains 28 film-coated tablets for oral use.
Atorvastatin works by reducing the production of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in the liver while modestly increasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol. It is prescribed for people with high cholesterol that cannot be managed by diet and lifestyle changes alone, as well as for those with existing heart disease, diabetes, or other risk factors who need aggressive cholesterol management to protect their long-term cardiovascular health.
