Lipostat Tablet 10 mg contains Atorvastatin Calcium, a lipid-lowering medicine belonging to the statin class. It is used for the management of high cholesterol levels and for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. It helps lower “bad cholesterol” (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing “good cholesterol” (HDL) in the blood.

Atorvastatin works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver, which is responsible for cholesterol production. By reducing cholesterol synthesis, it helps prevent the buildup of fatty deposits (plaques) in blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and related complications.

Lipostat Tablet is typically prescribed as part of a long-term treatment plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle modifications to achieve optimal cholesterol control and cardiovascular protection.
