Aztor 5mg Tablet is primarily used to reduce elevated high blood cholesterol levels (hyperlipidaemia) when diet and lifestyle changes alone are not enough. This medicine contains Atorvastatin 5mg, which belongs to a class of drugs known as lipid-lowering agents.

By effectively lowering high blood cholesterol levels, Aztor 5mg Tablet also helps in managing the risk of serious health issues such as heart attack, stroke, angina, or related cardiovascular problems.
