High cholesterol (hypercholesterolaemia), mixed dyslipidaemia; prevention of cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in at-risk patients

Atorvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG‑CoA reductase, reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver. It lowers LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides and can modestly raise HDL, helping reduce atherosclerotic risk.

Tablet for oral use. Take once daily at the same time each day, with or without food, as prescribed. Continue diet and lifestyle changes; do not stop without medical advice.

Headache, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, indigestion, muscle pain, weakness, increased liver enzymes

Contraindicated in active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevation of liver enzymes. Use with caution in history of liver disease, heavy alcohol use, hypothyroidism, kidney problems, or in elderly due to higher risk of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis—seek care for unexplained muscle pain/weakness or dark urine. Periodic liver function tests may be advised.

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (clarithromycin, erythromycin, ketoconazole/itraconazole, protease inhibitors), cyclosporine, gemfibrozil and other fibrates, niacin, ezetimibe (increased myopathy risk), warfarin (may alter INR), digoxin (levels may increase), grapefruit juice (increases atorvastatin levels)
