Atorvastatin works in the liver. It blocks HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme that is needed to make cholesterol. With less cholesterol made in the liver, the liver puts more LDL receptors on its cell surface, so more LDL cholesterol is taken out of the blood. The result is lower LDL cholesterol and fewer LDL particles in the blood.

Must not be used in patients with acute liver failure or decompensated cirrhosis. Must not be used by anyone allergic to atorvastatin or any ingredient of the tablet. Check with a doctor first if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding; the tablet should be stopped when pregnancy is recognised.
