Remetor D Tablet 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. It contains Atorvastatin and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), which work by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, it increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood. Thus, it lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. It reduces the bad cholesterol and increases the good cholesterol by blocking our body's production of bad cholesterol. It also improves your body's ability to remove it from your blood. In some cases, you may experience allergic reactions, headache, blurred vision, pain, constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, muscle spasms, joint swelling, and back pain.

About Remetor D Tablet

Remetor D Tablet 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.

Remetor D Tablet works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, Remetor D Tablet increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood. Thus, Remetor D Tablet lowers the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. Remetor D Tablet reduces the ‘bad’ cholesterol and increases the ‘good’ cholesterol by blocking our body’s production of ‘bad’ cholesterol. It also improves your body’s ability to remove it from your blood. Cholecalciferol is added to relieve the muscle pain caused due to atorvastatin. Collectively, Remetor D Tablet helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.
