Zydus Cadila has received the final approval from the USFDA to market Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets in the strengths of 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg (US RLD Lipitor). It will be manufactured at the group's formulations manufacturing facility at Moraiya, Ahmedabad.
Atorvastatin is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "statins." It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks.
