Lipitas 10mg Tablets contain atorvastatin, a lipid-lowering medicine from the statin class. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver. This helps lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
Lipitas is indicated as an adjunct to diet for the treatment of primary hypercholesterolaemia, mixed dyslipidaemia, and familial hypercholesterolaemia when lifestyle measures alone are insufficient. It is also used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke in eligible patients.
Regular lipid monitoring and adherence to dietary and lifestyle recommendations help optimise treatment outcomes.
