Storvas 20 Tablet

Storvas 20 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains atorvastatin 20 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the statin class of medicines, which are used to lower high cholesterol and triglycerides and to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in certain people. Storvas 20 Tablet is taken by mouth and is part of a long-term plan that also includes diet and other lifestyle changes. Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. makes this 10-tablet pack for patients who need this specific 20 mg strength.

How it works: Atorvastatin in Storvas 20 Tablet blocks an enzyme your liver uses to make cholesterol, so less LDL (“bad”) cholesterol is produced. This tablet also helps the liver remove more LDL from the blood, which can lower overall cholesterol and triglycerides.

Storvas 20 Tablet is a mid-strength atorvastatin tablet, higher than Storvas 5 Tablet and Storvas 10 Tablet but lower than Storvas 80 Tablet. Doctors may choose Storvas 20 Tablet when a lower dose is not enough to reach cholesterol goals, but a very high dose is not needed. The effect is not immediate; it works gradually over time as part of regular daily treatment.
