Lipiget

Overview

Lipiget 10mg contains Atorvastatin, a statin-class medicine used to lower harmful cholesterol and fats (LDL, triglycerides) while raising levels of good cholesterol (HDL). By improving the cholesterol profile, it reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular problems such as heart attack, stroke, and complications linked with diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.

Atorvastatin works by blocking a natural substance in the body that helps make cholesterol, thereby slowing cholesterol production and supporting overall heart health.

• High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)

Doctor’s Review

Dr. Farhan Siddiqui (MBBS, FCPS – Cardiologist)

“Atorvastatin is one of the most widely used and effective medicines for lowering cholesterol. Lipiget 10mg is a reliable option to bring LDL levels down and improve overall heart health. However, patients should remember that statins work best with lifestyle changes such as diet control and exercise. Regular follow-ups and blood tests are essential to monitor cholesterol levels and liver function while on therapy.”
