Drug Information
12 reviews for Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Lipitor contains Atorvastatin.
Atorvastatin is a statin, one of the most commonly used medicines for lowering cholesterol. It lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes.
What is it used for?
- High cholesterol
- Lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke in people at higher risk
How does it work?
Your liver makes most of the cholesterol in your body. Atorvastatin blocks an enzyme the liver needs to make cholesterol, so less is made and the liver pulls more "bad" cholesterol out of the blood.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, drink a lot of alcohol, have an underactive thyroid, or have had muscle problems with a cholesterol medicine.
- Do not take it if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Some medicines raise the risk of muscle problems, such as clarithromycin, erythromycin, some HIV and hepatitis C medicines, ciclosporin, gemfibrozil and some antifungals. Check with your pharmacist.
- Keep eating a healthy diet low in saturated fat. The medicine works best together with healthy habits.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Lipitor can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Muscle aches or joint pain
- Headache
- Constipation, wind or indigestion
- Feeling sick
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, especially with fever, feeling unwell or dark urine
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes, or dark urine
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling or trouble breathing
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it once a day, at any time of day, but at the same time each day.
- Swallow the tablet with water. You can take it with or without food.
- A common adult dose is 10 mg to 80 mg once a day. Your doctor will choose the dose based on your risk.
- Your doctor will check your cholesterol and liver with blood tests.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses at once.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
