About Lipicure-D 10 Tablet 10's
Lipicure-D 10 Tablet 10's is a cholesterol-lowering medicine containing atorvastatin (statins or lipid reducer) and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). It helps lower bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein-LDL) and triglycerides (fats) levels. Hence, it reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in the future. Two types of cholesterol are found in our body: good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) and bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein). Good cholesterol is good for our heart and helps reduce the bad cholesterol in our body. On the other hand, excess bad cholesterol (LDL) leads to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.
Lipicure-D 10 Tablet 10's works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, Lipicure-D 10 Tablet 10's increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Hyperlipidemia: High cholesterol, known as hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia, occurs when there is an excess of the unhealthy cholesterol balance in the blood. When there is a high cholesterol level in the blood, your arteries get narrowed and clogged, which finally contributes to heart diseases like stroke and heart attack. Eating high-fat or high-cholesterol-containing food/drinks and genetic factors are the primary causes of high cholesterol.
