ATOREC D3 TABLET contains Atorvastatin (fat or lipid reducer) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Atorvastatin works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, ATOREC D3 TABLET increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood. Thus, ATOREC D3 TABLET lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. ATOREC D3 TABLET reduces the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increases the ‘good’ cholesterol by blocking our body’s production of ‘bad’ cholesterol. It also improves your body’s ability to remove it from your blood. Cholecalciferol or Vitamin D3 is added to get relief from the musculoskeletal pain caused due to atorvastatin. Collectively, ATOREC D3 TABLET helps reduce the raised cholesterol level in the bloodstream.
