The medicine contains Atorvastatin which belongs to the statin class of drugs; these medications are usually given to lower cholesterol and triglycerides in the bloodstream when diet and lifestyle changes have failed to work. Atorvastatin also reduces your risk of heart complications even if your cholesterol levels are normal. It is available in the form of a tablet. Lipitor may be used as a part of combination therapy. It is often prescribed with other cholesterol-lowering medications to gain control over raised cholesterol levels. Atorvastatin works by lowering low-density protein or bad cholesterol and raising the high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol in the blood.
