What is Atorvastatin used for?

Atorvastatin, the active ingredient in Xarator, is commonly prescribed to lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.

This medication is often part of a broader treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.

What are the side effects of Atorvastatin?

Xarator works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, which helps maintain healthier blood lipid levels over time.
