Stator 20 Tablet

Description

Stator 20 Tablet contains Atorvastatin (20mg), a statin-class medicine used to lower cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases by lowering “bad cholesterol” (LDL & triglycerides) and increasing “good cholesterol” (HDL).

The 20mg strength is usually prescribed when a patient’s cholesterol levels are not adequately controlled with the 10mg dose, or when stronger cholesterol reduction is required due to higher cardiovascular risk.
