Atorva 10 vs Rosuvas 10: price, salt & differences
Atorva 10 is atorvastatin 10 mg and Rosuvas 10 is rosuvastatin 10 mg – both statins that lower LDL cholesterol and heart-attack risk. Rosuvastatin is more potent milligram for milligram, so 10 mg of rosuvastatin lowers LDL roughly as much as a higher atorvastatin dose, and its dose is reduced in kidney disease; atorvastatin is the longer-established and cheaper option at ₹5.34 per tablet versus ₹25. Which you need depends on your LDL target; ask your doctor or pharmacist before switching.
