Common Uses:
 Atorlip 20mg is used to lower high levels of cholesterol and other fats (triglycerides) in the blood and reduce risk of heart disease that can be caused by high cholesterol. Atorlip 20 lowers levels of total cholesterol as well as reducing “bad” cholesterol (LDL) that can cause arteries to become hardened and blocked, and also increases levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL) that helps unblock hardened arteries. Atorlip 20 is used, in conjunction with a low-fat diet, to treat patients at risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) or patients with high cholesterol (hypercholesterolaemia), inherited or due to lifestyle (high-fat diet, obesity and lack of exercise), who have not responded to a low-fat diet and lifestyle changes alone.

How to use:
You should take Atorlip 20mg tablets with a glass of water once a day, preferably in the evening after your evening meal, although you can take Atorlip with or without food. Atorlip 20 is most effective at night when your body is at resting and your liver is producing the most cholesterol. The dose you take and for how long should be as recommended by your doctor.
