Composition of Atocor 40 mg

Atocor 40 mg contains Atorvastatin (40mg). It belongs to the Statin / lipid modifier class of medicines.

Uses of Atocor 40 mg

Prevention of Heart attack High cholesterol High triglycerides Prevention of Prevention of heart attack and stroke

Benefits of Atocor 40 mg

In High cholesterol
Atocor lowers the 'bad' LDL cholesterol in your blood, slowing the build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries. The benefit builds over months and years rather than being something you feel.
In Prevention of heart attack and stroke
Atocor stabilises the fatty plaques already lining your arteries so they are less likely to rupture and block a vessel. That is what lowers the chance of a heart attack or stroke.

How Atocor 40 mg works

ATOcor 40 Tablet is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required in the body to make cholesterol. It thus lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, raising the level of "good" cholesterol (HDL).

How to take Atocor 40 mg

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. ATOcor 40 Tablet may be taken with or without food.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of ATOcor 40 Tablet, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely to cause immediate harm but may increase the risk of muscle and liver injury. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Atocor 40 mg

Most side effects of Atocor are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Muscle aches
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Constipation or loose motions
  • Raised liver enzymes
