Description
About Descol 10mg
Descol 10mg Tablets contain Atorvastatin, a lipid-lowering statin that works by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By reducing LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides while raising HDL (good cholesterol), Descol helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. It is a prescription-only medicine and should be used under medical supervision alongside diet and lifestyle changes.

Available on prescription only. Use as directed by physician.
How to Use
Take one tablet daily with or without food, at the same time each day, as directed by your physician or pharmacist. Swallow whole — do not crush or chew. Do not stop without medical advice even if cholesterol appears normal.
