Tonact Plus Tablet is a combination medicine that comprises two active ingredients:

Atorvastatin (10 mg): This component works by inhibiting an enzyme known as HMGCoA reductase found in your body. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the production of cholesterol inside your body. By blocking its activity, atorvastatin effectively lowers the levels of bad cholesterol in your bloodstream.
Nicotinic Acid (375 mg): As a form of B vitamin or niacin, this ingredient reduces fatty acid mobilisation from adipose tissue, decreasing very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and LDL production. Simultaneously, it enhances HDL levels by reducing its clearance from the body.

The complementary actions of these two ingredients significantly improve cholesterol levels, resulting in better heart health.
