Stacor Tablet 20 mg contains Atorvastatin Calcium, a potent statin medication used to manage high cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk. Atorvastatin works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver, decreasing the production of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides while modestly increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

Stacor 20 mg is prescribed for adults with hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, or familial hypercholesterolemia, as well as for those at high risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. When combined with a heart-healthy diet, lifestyle modifications, and regular exercise, Stacor helps improve lipid profiles and supports long-term cardiovascular health.
