About

Stator 20mg contains Atorvastatin, a member of the statin class of drugs, widely used for the management of dyslipidemia and the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Atorvastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme critical for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This inhibition leads to a reduction in hepatic cholesterol production, which in turn upregulates LDL receptors on liver cells, increasing the clearance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from the bloodstream. The net effect is a significant reduction in LDL-C, total cholesterol, and triglycerides, along with a modest increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Regular use of Atorvastatin helps to stabilize atherosclerotic plaques and significantly reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and the need for revascularization procedures in at-risk individuals, thereby improving long-term cardiovascular health outcomes.
