How it works
Atorvastatin acts on an enzyme responsible for the production of cholesterol in the blood. Thus, the level of cholesterol produced in the blood gets reduced over time. Cholecalciferol (vitamin-D3), acts by promoting the absorption of calcium, phosphates and Vitamin A from different organs and helps in maintaining overall health.
