Introduction of Atorvastatin

Atorvastatin is used with diet changes (restriction of cholesterol and fat intake) to reduce the amount of cholesterol and certain fatty substances in the blood. Atorvastatin is in a class of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. It works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body. Buildup of cholesterol and fats along the walls of the blood vessels decreases blood flow and, therefore, the oxygen supply to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. Lowering blood levels of cholesterol and fats may help to prevent heart disease, angina, strokes, and heart attacks.

• tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to atorvastatin or any other medications.

Be sure to mention any of the following: antifungal medications such as itraconazole and ketoconazole; cimetidine; digoxin; erythromycin ; medications that suppress the immune system such as cyclosporine; oral contraceptives ; other cholesterol-lowering medications such as fenofibrate, gemfibrozil , and niacin ; and spironolactone .
