Product Details:

Atorvastatin is a prescription medication belonging to the class of drugs known as statins. It is used to lower elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Atorvastatin tablets are available in two strengths: 10mg and 20mg.

Key Features:

• Cholesterol Management: Atorvastatin is primarily prescribed to manage high cholesterol levels. It works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver involved in cholesterol production, leading to a reduction in the levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol.

• Two Strength Options: Atorvastatin is available in 10mg and 20mg tablet strengths, allowing for different dosing options based on the patient's cholesterol levels and response to treatment.

• Once-Daily Dosage: In most cases, Atorvastatin is taken once daily, usually in the evening. Taking the medication consistently at the same time each day enhances its effectiveness.

• Cardiovascular Health: By lowering LDL cholesterol levels, Atorvastatin helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes, especially in individuals with a history of heart disease or other risk factors.

• Prescription Only: Atorvastatin is available by prescription only and should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is not an over-the-counter medication.

Precautions and Warnings:

• Atorvastatin may interact with certain medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and medications used to treat HIV. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all other medications they are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

• Individuals with liver disease or a history of liver problems should use Atorvastatin with caution, as it can affect liver function.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should not take Atorvastatin, as it may harm the developing fetus or nursing infant. Alternative cholesterol management strategies should be discussed with the healthcare provider.

• While Atorvastatin is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as muscle pain, weakness, or tenderness. Severe muscle-related side effects are rare but can occur. Any unexplained muscle pain or weakness should be reported to a healthcare professional promptly.

• Atorvastatin is most effective when combined with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoidance of tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption.

• Periodic blood tests may be required to monitor cholesterol levels and assess liver function while taking Atorvastatin.

It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
