How it works
Atherochek 10 Tablet is a combination of five medicines: Atorvastatin, Methylcobalamin, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), and Folic Acid. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medicine which works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required to make cholesterol. It thus lowers 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) triglycerides and raises 'good' cholesterol (HDL). Methylcobalamin, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), and Folic Acid provide essential nutrients.
