LIPIDATOR 10 MG – 10 TABLETS

Description

LIPIDATOR 10 MG contains atorvastatin, a potent statin used to treat high cholesterol and related conditions. It works by inhibiting an enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) responsible for cholesterol production in the liver. This leads to a significant decrease in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications. LIPIDATOR 10 MG is ideal for patients with hypercholesterolemia or those at high risk for heart disease.

Timing: It can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time every day.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s close to your next dose. Do not double the dose.
Medicinal Advantages:
Lowers Bad Cholesterol (LDL): Reduces levels of harmful cholesterol in the blood, protecting against heart diseases.
