WHAT STORVAS C TABLETS IS USED
FOR
STORVAS C TABLET
is used in
addition to diet to

lower lipids known as cholesterol,
apolipoprotein B and triglycerides
in the blood when a low fat diet and
life style changes on their own have
failed.

Increase the level of HDL
cholesterol, which is beneficial for
health
Everyone has cholesterol in their blood.
It is a type of blood fat needed by the
body for many things, such as building
the cell lining, making bile acids (which
help to digest food) and some hormones.
However, too much cholesterol can be a
problem. If your body makes too much
cholesterol or you have too much
cholesterol in your diet, then your level
becomes too high.
When you have high levels of 'bad'
cholesterol in your blood, it may begin
to 'stick' to the inside of your blood
vessels. Over time, this can form hard
areas, also called plaque.
Sometimes, the plaque can detach from
the vessel wall and block your blood
vessels, which can lead to several types
of blood vessel disease, heart attack,
angina and stroke.
There is another type of blood fat called
triglyceride, which is a source of energy.
However, high levels of triglyceride can
be associated w

PHARMACOLOGY

MECHANISM OF ACTION
Atorvastatin is a selective, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA
reductase, the rate limiting
enzyme that converts 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A to
mevalonate, a precursor of
sterols, including cholesterol. Cholesterol and triglycerides
circulate in the bloodstream as part
of lipoprotein complexes. With ultracentrifugation, these complexes
separate into HDL (high-
density lipoprotein), IDL (intermediate-density lipoprotein), LDL
(low-density lipoprotein), and
VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein) fractions. Triglycerides (TG) and
cholesterol in the liver are
incorporated into VLDL and released into the plasma for delivery to
peripheral tissues. LDL is
formed from VLDL and is catabolized primarily through the
