Medicinal Benefits

AVAS D 20MG TABLET contains Atorvastatin (fat or lipid reducer) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Atorvastatin works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, AVAS D 20MG TABLET increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood. Thus, AVAS D 20MG TABLET lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. AVAS D 20MG TABLET reduces the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increases the ‘good’ cholesterol by blocking our body’s production of ‘bad’ cholesterol. It also improves your body’s ability to remove it from your blood. Cholecalciferol or Vitamin D3 is added to get relief from the musculoskeletal pain caused due to atorvastatin. Collectively, AVAS D 20MG TABLET helps reduce the raised cholesterol level in the bloodstream.
