Description
Lipitor 10 mg is a brand name for atorvastatin, a medication belonging to the class of drugs known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as statins. It is primarily used to lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. By inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, atorvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver, thereby decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, and the need for heart surgery. Lipitor is typically administered once daily, with or without food, and is often prescribed alongside dietary changes, exercise, and weight control to achieve optimal cholesterol management. It is important to note that Lipitor should not be taken during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or by individuals with active liver disease. Regular monitoring of liver function and muscle health is recommended during treatment.
