About Lipitor

FDA approved Atorvastatin in December, 1996. Atorvastatin is taken orally; it lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood. It belongs to a class of medications called statins, this class also includes Lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin, (Zocor), fluvastatin (Lescol), and pravastatin (Pravachol). All statins (including Atorvastatin) block the enzyme that makes cholesterol, HMGCoA reductase, thus preventing the production of cholesterol by the liver. The statins lower total blood cholesterol as well as LDL cholesterol levels. LDL cholesterol is considered to be the "bad" cholesterol primarily responsible for the development of coronary artery disease. When LDL cholesterol levels are lowered, it helps to retard progression and may even reverse coronary artery disease. Atorvastatin can also reduce the concentration of triglycerides in the blood unlike the other medications of this class. High blood concentrations of triglycerides are also considered to be responsible for the development of coronary artery disease.

When accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of your arteries (a process called atherosclerosis) takes place, blood flow is decreased and, the oxygen supply to your heart, brain, and other parts of your body is therefore decreased. If you lower your blood level of cholesterol and fats, it may help to prevent heart disease, angina (Chest pain), strokes, and heart attacks.

A tablet of Lipitor is taken by mouth. Usually you should take it once a day with or without food. It is recommended to take Lipitor around the same time every day.
