 Atorvastatin including brand names Lipitor, Artolip, Cardyl and Sortis
is a cholesterol lowering drug, prescribed along with a special diet if
blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels are high enough to threaten
heart disease. Atorvastatin helps clear harmful low density lipoprotein
(LDL) cholesterol out of the blood and by limiting the body's ability to
form new LDL cholesterol. Atorvastatin is usually prescribed if diet, exercise and weight loss fail
to control cholesterol levels and is a supplement to these measures rather than a substitute.
Atorvasatin is a lipid regulator belonging to a group of drugs often referred to as [Statins].
