View Patient InformationAtorvastatin is a prescription medication used to control cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It forms part of a broader treatment plan that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and healthy weight management.
Atorvastatin works by blocking an enzyme in the liver responsible for producing cholesterol. This helps prevent cholesterol build-up in the arteries, improving blood flow to the heart and brain.
In some cases, Atorvastatin may be used alongside other cholesterol-lowering treatments, such as bile acid resins, to achieve optimal results.
Atorvastatin belongs to a group of medicines called statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors). It works by regulating cholesterol production in the liver and improving how the body handles fats.
It helps by:
Lowering “bad” cholesterol (LDL): Reduces low-density lipoprotein, which can build up and narrow the arteries.
Raising “good” cholesterol (HDL): Increases high-density lipoprotein, which helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Enhancing cholesterol removal: Improves the liver’s ability to process and eliminate LDL cholesterol efficiently.
Benefits
Reduces LDL (“bad”) cholesterol: Prevents harmful cholesterol build-up in the arteries.
Increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol: Supports your body’s natural cholesterol-clearing process.
Lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke: Helps maintain healthy blood flow to the heart and brain.
Improves long-term heart health: Works best when combined with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management.
