In simple terms, this tablet turns down cholesterol production in the liver. It does that by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, an early step in cholesterol making. The liver then takes up more LDL from the blood to make up the shortfall, which lowers LDL cholesterol levels and also reduces the number of LDL particles circulating.

Must not be used in acute liver failure or decompensated cirrhosis. Must not be used by anyone allergic to atorvastatin or to any of the tablet's excipients. Must not be used during pregnancy. Check with a doctor first if there is unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness. Check with a doctor first if there is thyroid disease, kidney disease or liver disease.
