What is "atorvastatin"?
Atorvastatin is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It belongs to a type of drugs known as statins, which work by blocking the enzyme responsible for producing cholesterol in the liver. By lowering cholesterol levels, atorvastatin helps reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as high cholesterol and triglycerides, and to prevent cardiovascular events in individuals at risk. Atorvastatin is usually prescribed along with a healthy diet and lifestyle changes, and needs regular monitoring of cholesterol levels and liver function tests because of its potential side effects such as liver problems and muscle pain.
