Ozovas 20 Tablet

Ozovas 20 Tablet contains atorvastatin 20 mg in each tablet. It is a statin medicine used to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while helping raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Ozovas 20 Tablet is also prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart and blood vessel problems in people with cardiovascular risk factors. This tablet is meant to be used along with a cholesterol-lowering diet and other lifestyle changes.

How it works: Atorvastatin blocks an enzyme in the liver that the body uses to make cholesterol, so the liver produces less LDL cholesterol. Because Ozovas 20 Tablet is an oral tablet, it delivers the medicine steadily from the digestive system and is taken once daily for ongoing cholesterol control.

Ozovas 20 Tablet is the only strength sold in our range, so there are no lower or higher sibling strengths here to compare it with. The 20 mg tablet is a standard prescribed strength that may be chosen when a doctor wants a routine daily atorvastatin dose for cholesterol control or cardiovascular risk reduction. It is not a quick-acting medicine and works gradually as you keep taking it each day.

Each Ozovas 20 Tablet contains atorvastatin 20 mg. This strength is commonly taken once daily, but the exact dose and timing depend on your doctor’s treatment plan, lab results, and risk factors. Do not exceed the prescribed daily amount; the maximum atorvastatin dose is 80 mg per day, and your doctor will decide whether 20 mg is appropriate for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
