Storvas 80 Tablet

Product Description: Storvas 80 Tablet

Overview
Storvas 80 Tablet is a powerful lipid-lowering medicine belonging to the class of statins, used to effectively reduce high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. By controlling these harmful fats, it helps prevent serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. It is prescribed when dietary and lifestyle changes alone are insufficient to achieve healthy cholesterol levels. Storvas 80 supports heart health by preventing plaque buildup in the arteries and improving overall blood circulation.

How Storvas 80 Tablet Works
Storvas 80 Tablet contains Atorvastatin, a statin that works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, responsible for cholesterol production. By reducing the synthesis of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL), it helps maintain optimal lipid balance. This mechanism reduces fatty deposits in the arteries, promoting better blood flow and lowering the risk of heart-related complications.
