Lipitor is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called statins. It is used to lower high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. Lipitor works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol. It is typically taken once daily and may be prescribed in combination with other medications and lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to manage high cholesterol levels.
Symbicort is a medication used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains a combination of budesonide, which is a steroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, and formoterol, which is a bronchodilator that helps to open up the airways and make breathing easier. Symbicort is usually taken through an inhaler device and can provide long-term relief of symptoms and improve lung function.
