How does it work?

Atorvastatin Calcium works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in the liver — the key enzyme your body uses to produce cholesterol. With less cholesterol being made, the liver pulls more LDL cholesterol out of the bloodstream, resulting in lower overall cholesterol levels and a reduced risk of plaque building up in your arteries.

Lipitor is generally well tolerated. Some people may experience:

Seek immediate medical attention if you develop unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or dark-coloured urine — these may indicate myopathy, a rare but serious condition requiring prompt care.
