Atorvastatin calcium (brand name: Lipitor) is a medicine in a class of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, also referred to as "statins."

Atorvastatin is used to treat high cholesterol, and to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications in people with type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, or other risk factors

What is Atorvastatin calcium ?

  • Atorvastatin is used together with diet to lower blood levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL), to increase levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL), and to lower triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood).
  • Atorvastatin works by reducing your "bad" cholesterol (low density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of “good" cholesterol (high density lipoprotein, or HDL cholesterol). It can lower the build-up of cholesterol plaque in your blood vessels and arteries that could lead to a heart attack.
  • Atorvastatin is an oral tablet you take by mouth once a day to help lower your cholesterol. It is a prescription drug and comes as a generic and brand name (Lipitor) product. Both products come in strengths of 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg.
