Description
Product Overview:
Tonact 10 Tablet is a medication belonging to the class of statins, used primarily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It contains Atorvastatin (10mg), which helps to manage high cholesterol levels by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Key Ingredient:
- Atorvastatin (10mg): A statin that works by inhibiting an enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) in the liver that is involved in cholesterol production. This helps to lower the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, while simultaneously increasing the level of “good” cholesterol (HDL).
How Tonact 10 Tablet Works:
Tonact 10 Tablet works by blocking the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, it lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, while increasing HDL (good cholesterol), leading to a reduction in the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.
