How Athrovas HC Tablet works

Athrovas HC Tablet is a combination of five medicines: L-Methyl Folate , Methylcobalamin/Mecobalamin , Pyridoxal-5-phasphate , Rosuvastatin and Vitamin D3. Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medicine which works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required to make cholesterol. It thus lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides and raises "good" cholesterol (HDL). L-Methyl Folate , Methylcobalamin/Mecobalamin , Pyridoxal-5-phasphate and Vitamin D3 provide essential nutrients.
