Indications

Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication widely used to reduce elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. It is indicated for the management of hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, and familial hypercholesterolemia. Atorvastatin helps prevent cardiovascular complications such as heart attack and stroke in patients with established cardiovascular disease or those at high risk. It also slows the progression of atherosclerosis by reducing cholesterol plaque buildup within arterial walls, thereby improving overall cardiovascular health.
