Mechanism of action
Atorvastatin is a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. It blocks the enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the liver, resulting in an increase in LDL receptors which promotes the clearance of LDL cholesterol from the blood.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Contraindicated; stop use immediately upon conception. Breastfeeding: Contraindicated.
Atorvastatin is a statin used in hypercholesterolaemia. It comes as film-coated tablets in 10, 20, 40 and 80mg strengths, taken by mouth. The originator company is Pfizer, and it is also known as Lipitor and Atorva. As an atorvastatin product it belongs to the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor class, and it is used alongside diet to lower LDL cholesterol and to reduce cardiovascular risk in people with risk factors for, or established, coronary heart disease.
It works by blocking the liver enzyme responsible for making cholesterol, which increases the number of LDL receptors and helps clear LDL cholesterol from the blood. Cholesterol levels are usually rechecked after 2 to 4 weeks. Report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness to a doctor straight away, and tell your doctor about liver disease before treatment, since liver function is monitored while you take it.
