Atorica 10 Tablet contains Atorvastatin, a statin that lowers raised cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. By reducing these fats, it also helps lessen the long-term chances of heart attack and stroke. The medicine works best when paired with a balanced low-fat diet, regular activity and other lifestyle steps suggested by the doctor. Most people feel no immediate change, yet steady use keeps cholesterol numbers under better control.
