Atorsave 20 Tablet

Atorvastatin 20mg is a cholesterol-lowering medicine that belongs to the statin group. It is prescribed to manage high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. By keeping cholesterol under control, it helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other complications linked to blocked blood vessels.

Uses
• Treatment of high cholesterol and triglycerides
• Prevention of heart attack and stroke in people with risk factors
• Supports heart health in patients with diabetes, hypertension, or family history of cardiovascular disease

Benefits
Taking Atorvastatin 20mg regularly helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and fats, while increasing good cholesterol (HDL). This improves blood flow in the arteries, prevents plaque buildup, and reduces the burden on the heart.

Possible side effects
Some individuals may notice muscle pain, weakness, indigestion, nausea, or headache. These side effects are generally mild and temporary. In rare cases, severe muscle pain or yellowing of eyes/skin should be reported to a doctor immediately.

How to take it
Swallow the tablet whole with water, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without medical advice.

How it works
Atorvastatin works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for making cholesterol. This lowers the amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood and prevents fatty deposits from forming inside arteries.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor if you have liver problems or consume alcohol regularly

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid this medicine unless specifically prescribed

• Lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can improve results

• Periodic liver function and lipid profile tests may be advised during treatment

Missed dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it when you remember. If your next dose is near, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Do not take two doses together.
