Atorvastatin
statin · lipid-lowering
Our referenceWhat this medicine is for
Atorvastatin belongs to the “statin (lipid-lowering)” category. Statins slow down, in the liver, a key enzyme in the production of cholesterol, which lowers the LDL cholesterol measured on a blood test. It is a long-term treatment that you feel nothing of day to day, and whose benefit is counted in years.
In the case of Atorvastatin, this means: Reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood. It is generally taken over the long term, within regular monitoring, and is not stopped on your own initiative.
