Liponorm 10mg Tablet contains Atorvastatin 10mg, a lipid-lowering agent belonging to the statin class. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia to reduce elevated total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides, while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Atorvastatin exerts its effect by selectively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, leading to decreased cholesterol production in the liver and upregulation of LDL receptors, which enhances clearance of LDL from the bloodstream. Liponorm is used as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle modifications, including exercise and weight control, to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and angina in patients with or at high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The recommended dosage is individualized based on patient response and lipid profile, with 10mg being a common starting dose. Common adverse effects may include headache, myalgia, gastrointestinal disturbances, and elevated liver enzymes. Regular monitoring of lipid levels, liver function tests, and creatine kinase is advised during therapy. Liponorm should be used cautiously in patients with hepatic impairment or a history of muscle disorders and is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation.
