ATORVASTATIN+METOPROLOL+RAMIPRIL is a combination medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce cholesterol levels. Also, it reduces the risk of heart attack or stroke. Hypertension is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

ATORVASTATIN+METOPROLOL+RAMIPRIL contains Atorvastatin (statin), Metoprolol (beta-blocker) and Ramipril (ACE inhibitor). Atorvastatin belongs to the class of statins or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors that work by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the body that is essential to make cholesterol. Thereby, it decreases the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) by the liver. Also, it reduces the risk of stroke or heart attack by lowering the excess cholesterol deposition in the major blood vessels of the brain and heart. Metoprolol acts by inhibiting beta receptors in the heart, causing the heart to beat more slowly and with less power. Thereby, it decreases the pressure at which blood is pumped out of the heart and throughout the body. Ramipril works by blocking the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the body. Thus, it reduces the production of angiotensin II, which causes constriction and narrowing of blood vessels. This allows the blood vessels to relax and widen and lower blood pressure.
