Medicinal Benefits

Numlotor 5 mg Tablet 10's is used to treat myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke or coronary artery disease. It also lowers abnormally elevated bad cholesterol or fat levels and raises good cholesterol levels in the body. Numlotor 5 mg Tablet 10's is composed of Atorvastatin and Amlodipine. Atorvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering agent and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. It works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol.

It treats high blood pressure, Prinzmetal's or variant angina (chest pain) and coronary artery disease conditions. Amlodipine also improves blood supply to the heart muscle to receive more oxygen and thus preventing chest pain.
