Description
Product Introduction:
Xtor 10 Tablet belongs to a class of medicines called statins. It is primarily used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can build up in blood vessels, leading to narrowing, which in turn can cause serious cardiovascular issues. By lowering cholesterol, Xtor 10 Tablet helps prevent these risks and promotes heart health.
SALT COMPOSITION:
- Atorvastatin (10mg)
How Xtor 10 Tablet Works:
Xtor 10 Tablet contains Atorvastatin, which is a lipid-lowering medication. It works by blocking the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is needed by the body to make cholesterol. This action helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, while increasing the level of good cholesterol (HDL). This results in better cardiovascular health by reducing the buildup of fatty plaques in blood vessels.
