Atorvastatin Calcium is the primary active ingredient. It works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production. This mechanism helps reduce LDL and triglycerides while boosting HDL levels.
Supporting Components
- Microcrystalline Cellulose: Ensures tablet stability.
- Calcium Carbonate: Enhances the tablet’s effectiveness.
- Croscarmellose Sodium: Aids in tablet breakdown for better absorption.
Each component contributes to the medication’s stability, efficacy, and absorption, ensuring consistent results.
