Atorva 10 Tablet contains Atorvastatin 10 mg and belongs to the statin family. Doctors give it to bring down high cholesterol and triglycerides when food habits and exercise have not done enough on their own. It also helps lower the chance of heart attack over time. The tablet works inside the liver to slow down how much cholesterol the body makes. Most people feel no change day to day, yet steady use keeps the blood fat numbers more settled and supports the heart for the long run.
