What Is Atorvastatin 10mg?
Atorvastatin is the generic version of Lipitor, a widely prescribed statin medication taken as a once-daily tablet. It works by blocking an enzyme your liver uses to make cholesterol, which lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and modestly raises HDL ("good") cholesterol. Doctors prescribe it for high cholesterol and to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and certain heart procedures in people at elevated cardiovascular risk. Atorvastatin is a prescription-only medication in the United States and is not available over the counter.
