Lipvas 40 mg contains Atorvastatin, which belongs to a family of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors or ‘statins. Atorvastatin lowers levels of low-density lipoprotein or LDL (considered as the bad cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein or HDL (considered as the good cholesterol). High levels of LDL can result in stroke, heart attack, and other heart complications in people with diabetes, coronary heart disease, or other risk factors. This drug is primarily used for the treatment of Dyslipidaemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
