 How It Works

• Atorlip 80 Tablet is a type of drug called a statin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor).
• It acts by blocking the liver's HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which makes cholesterol.
• This results in:
• Less synthesis of triglycerides and "bad" cholesterol (LDL)
• More "good" cholesterol (HDL)
• Less plaque building up in blood vessels
• This decreases total cholesterol levels and helps keep you from having a heart attack, stroke, or atherosclerosis.
