Xelpid Tablet 10 mg contains Atorvastatin Calcium, a lipid-lowering medicine belonging to the statin class. It is used to treat high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. It works by lowering levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood.

Atorvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, Xelpid Tablet reduces cholesterol synthesis, leading to improved lipid profile and decreased buildup of fatty deposits in blood vessels (atherosclerosis). This helps improve blood flow and reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events.

Xelpid Tablet is commonly prescribed along with lifestyle modifications such as a low-fat diet, regular exercise, and weight control. It may be used alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering medicines depending on the patient’s cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk profile.
