Active Ingredient and How It Works
Atorvastatin: The Key Component
The active ingredient in these tablets is Atorvastatin Calcium, which plays a crucial role in controlling cholesterol levels. Atorvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is responsible for producing cholesterol in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, atorvastatin helps the body clear LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream, promoting better cardiovascular health.
