Indications

Xerova Tablet 10 mg is indicated for:

• Primary hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels)

• Prevention of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke
• Reduction of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides
• Increasing HDL (good cholesterol) levels
• Patients with high cardiovascular risk, including diabetes or hypertension

Mechanism of Action

Atorvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, it reduces the production of cholesterol, particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL). It also enhances the liver’s ability to remove LDL from the bloodstream, leading to improved lipid profiles and reduced risk of atherosclerosis.
