Alkor is used to treat a wide range of health conditions related to the circulatory system and heart, and is mainly used to reduce levels of harmful fats in the body, especially low-density cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, while raising levels of good cholesterol (HDL). This drug is classified as a statin drug that works to inhibit the production of cholesterol in the liver, which contributes to reducing the accumulation of fat on the walls of the arteries and reduces the risk of coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis.
Alkor is prescribed in cases of preventing heart attacks and strokes, especially for people who suffer from risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and a family history of heart disease.
