How Atocer D 20 Mg/1000 IU Tablet 10 Works?

Atocer D 20 Mg/1000 IU Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Atorvastatin (20 mg): This component inhibits an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, which plays a key role in cholesterol production. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin effectively reduces the amount of cholesterol made by your body.
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) (1000 IU): This fat-soluble vitamin helps your body absorb calcium from the intestines and regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism. It supports bone health and helps prevent bone disorders that might occur during long-term statin therapy.

Pregnancy

Atocer D 20 Mg/1000 IU Tablet 10 is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine. Atorvastatin, one of the active ingredients, may cause harm to the developing baby.
