Lipvas 40 Uses
Doctors use this medication to reduce blood Cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease.
Cholesterol
A wax-like, fatty substance called Cholesterol is present in the blood and helps the body create healthy cells. Cholesterol present up to a certain level in the blood is helpful. However, after a certain level, it becomes harmful to the body. Usually, all the Cholesterol required by the body makes is from the food we eat.
But risk factors that may increase Cholesterol in the body include:
- Obesity

- Smoking

Working of Atorvastatin
Lipvas 40 belongs to a group of medications known as Lipid-lowering medications or Statins. This medicine works by balancing the Cholesterol levels in the body.
There are two types of Cholesterol in our body:
Low-Density Lipoprotein
This type of Cholesterol is harmful to the body and is called bad Cholesterol.
High-Density Lipoprotein
Also called good Cholesterol, HDL keeps the LDL or bad Cholesterol in the body in check. This medicine works by inhibiting the HMG CoA reductase enzyme, which the body uses to produce Cholesterol. The HDL then flushes the excess LDL out of the body through the liver.
