Lipicure 10 Tablet

Lipicure 10 Tablet is an oral tablet that contains atorvastatin 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the statin class of medicines, which are used to lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL), raise “good” cholesterol in some people, and help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Lipicure 10 Tablet is used along with diet and other lifestyle measures for people who need cholesterol treatment or cardiovascular risk reduction.

How it works: Atorvastatin in Lipicure 10 Tablet works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that helps make cholesterol. This lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while helping the body clear cholesterol from the blood more effectively.
