ATORVASTATIN (Lipitor, Sortis) helps to lower “bad fats” (cholesterol) in the blood so that blood vessels and the heart stay healthy. It tells the liver to make less cholesterol, so less fat sticks to the inside of the blood vessels. This helps protect the heart and blood vessels when the child is older, so they are less likely to get heart disease.

DESCRIPTION
Atorvastatin is used together with a proper diet to lower cholesterol and triglyceride (fats) levels in the blood. It may help prevent medical problems (eg, chest pain, heart attack, or stroke) that are caused by fats clogging the blood vessels. It may also be used to prevent certain types of heart and blood vessel problems in patients with risk factors for heart problems. Atorvastatin belongs to the group of medicines called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, or statins. It works by blocking an enzyme that is needed by the body to make cholesterol, and this reduces the amount of cholesterol in the blood.
Orally, after meals.
Seek your doctor's advise before use.
Before using Atorvastatin, the patient is recommended a standard lipid-lowering diet, which he should continue to follow throughout the entire period of therapy.
The initial dose is on average 10 mg once a day. The dose varies from 10 to 80 mg once a day. Atorvastatin can be taken at any time of the day with food or regardless of meal time. The dose is selected taking into account the initial concentrations of cholesterol / LDL, the goal of therapy and the individual effect. At the beginning of treatment and/or during an increase in the dose of Atorvastatin, it is necessary to monitor the concentration of lipids in the blood plasma every 2-4 weeks and adjust the dose accordingly.
