Description: Storvas contains Atorvastatin Calcium (20mg), a potent member of the statin class of medications. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme in the liver responsible for the production of cholesterol. By reducing the liver's cholesterol output, Storvas significantly lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while moderately increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL). The 20mg strength is a common therapeutic dose used to aggressively manage lipid levels and prevent the buildup of fatty plaques (atherosclerosis) in the arteries.
In Nigeria, Storvas is a leading clinical choice for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. It is available through authorized health providers like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive a genuine, clinically active medication stored in a stable, climate-controlled environment to maintain its chemical integrity and life-saving potency.
Important: Storvas is a prescription-only medication. It is most effective when combined with a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. You should avoid consuming large amounts of grapefruit juice while on this medication, as it can increase the concentration of Atorvastatin in your blood. If you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, contact your doctor immediately, as statins can rarely cause a serious muscle-wasting condition.
Storvas 20mg Tablets are primarily used to:
Lower High Cholesterol: Reducing LDL (bad cholesterol) and total cholesterol levels
Lower Triglycerides: Managing elevated blood fats that contribute to heart disease
Prevent Heart Attack & Stroke: Reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events in high-risk patients
Stabilize Arterial Plaques: Preventing existing fatty deposits from rupturing and causing blockages
Manage Type 2 Diabetes Complications: Often prescribed to diabetic patients to reduce their inherently higher risk of vascular disease
This product is suitable for:
Adults with primary hypercholesterolemia who have not reached target levels through diet alone
Patients with established coronary heart disease or a history of stroke
Individuals with Type 2 diabetes who have at least one other heart disease risk factor
Patients requiring a moderate-intensity statin therapy for long-term lipid management
Not recommended for: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it can harm the developing fetus or infant. It is contraindicated in patients with active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevations in liver enzymes. Avoid use if you have a known hypersensitivity to Atorvastatin.
Take one (1) tablet daily, or exactly as directed by your physician
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; it can be taken with or without food
Consistency is Key: Take your dose at the same time each day (morning or evening) to maintain steady levels in your system
Unlike some older statins, Atorvastatin can be taken at any time of day, though many patients prefer a bedtime routine
Maintain your heart-healthy diet and exercise plan throughout the duration of the treatment
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for blood tests to monitor your lipid profile and liver function
Most side effects are mild and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication:

Physical: Joint pain, muscle aches, or a mild headache
Laboratory: Slight elevations in blood sugar levels or liver enzymes
Rare: Memory loss or confusion (usually reversible upon stopping the medication)

How long does it take for Storvas to lower my cholesterol?
While the medication begins working within days, it typically takes 2 to 4 weeks of consistent daily use to see a significant reduction in your blood cholesterol levels.
Can I take this with my blood pressure medicine?
Yes. Storvas is frequently prescribed alongside blood pressure medications like Angizaar (Losartan) or Amlodipine. However, always inform your pharmacist of all medications you are taking to check for specific interactions.
Do I have to take this forever?
For most patients with chronic high cholesterol or heart disease, statin therapy is a long-term commitment. Stopping the medication usually causes cholesterol levels to return to their previous high levels within a few weeks.
