Cholesterol is made in the liver through a chain of steps, and the first key step is handled by an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. Atorvastatin blocks this enzyme. Because the liver then makes less cholesterol, it also removes more LDL cholesterol from the circulation, so blood cholesterol and the number of LDL particles both fall.

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.
