Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.

The side effects seen most often with Atorsave D 20 are muscle aches, headache, nausea and constipation or loose motions. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.

Uses

High cholesterol

Benefits

In High cholesterol: Atorsave D 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: Atorsave D 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.
In Vitamin D deficiency: Atorsave D restores the vitamin D your body needs to absorb calcium from food, easing the bone aches, muscle weakness and tiredness that low vitamin D causes.
In Low calcium: Atorsave D replaces the calcium the body is short of, relieving muscle cramps, tingling and the other effects of a low calcium level.
In Osteoporosis: Atorsave D gives the bones the calcium and vitamin D they need to stay dense, slowing the thinning that leads to fractures of the hip, wrist and spine.
In Bone health: Atorsave D supports strong bones and teeth and helps muscles work properly, which matters most in growing children, in pregnancy and after the menopause.

Side effects

Most side effects of Atorsave D 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
Constipation
Bloating
Stomach discomfort

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

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. ATORsave D 20 Tablet should be taken with or after food.

How it works

Atorvastatin 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), triglycerides and raises "good" cholesterol (HDL). Vitamin D3 is added to relieve the muscular pain caused by Atorvastatin.

Safety advice

AlcoholCAUTION: Alcohol may worsen the side effects of this medicine. Limit it.
PregnancyUNSAFE: Not recommended in pregnancy. It may harm the developing baby, so tell your doctor at once if you are or might be pregnant.
Breast feedingUNSAFE: Not recommended while breastfeeding.
DrivingUNSAFE: Do not drive or operate machinery while taking this medicine.
KidneyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor if you have kidney disease.

Warnings & precautions

Report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness — especially with fever or dark urine — without waiting for your next appointment. Your doctor will check your liver with a blood test before starting and from time to time afterwards. Cholesterol medicines work silently; you will not feel their benefit, and that is not a reason to stop. Tell your doctor if you develop new or worsening diabetes symptoms. Do not take more than your doctor has advised. Vitamin D builds up in the body and too much raises blood calcium, causing thirst, frequent urination, nausea and confusion. High-dose weekly or monthly sachets are prescription strengths — do not repeat one because you missed a week. Tell your doctor if you have had kidney stones or have kidney disease.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of ATORsave D 20 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. It can raise blood calcium dangerously, causing thirst, frequent urination, vomiting, confusion and kidney damage. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
