Atorvastatin

Avas-20 contains Atorvastatin 20 mg, a lipid-lowering medication indicated for the management of hyperlipidemia and prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Atorvastatin belongs to the statin class of medicines and works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This action helps reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides while modestly increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, thereby lowering the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

Avas-20 is typically administered once daily and may be used alongside lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, and weight management to support optimal lipid control and cardiovascular risk reduction.
