Product Description
Atorcor 40 mg Tablets contain atorvastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that dramatically lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides while raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol. The 40 mg dose is the highest strength and is used when aggressive lipid lowering is needed – in patients with established cardiovascular disease, very high risk, familial hypercholesterolemia, or when lower doses have not achieved target levels. When combined with diet and lifestyle changes, it significantly reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and the need for revascularization procedures. Benefits • Powerful LDL reduction (up to 60% at 40 mg dose) • Proven to prevent major cardiovascular events in high-risk patients • Reduces triglycerides and raises HDL cholesterol • Once-daily convenient dosing • Well-established long-term safety and efficacy profile • Suitable for secondary prevention and primary prevention in very high-risk individuals How to Use • Take one tablet once daily, at any time of day, with or without food • Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew • Starting dose is usually 10–20 mg; 40 mg is reserved for patients needing intensive lowering • Regular cholesterol and liver function blood tests are required • Continue low-fat diet and exercise during treatment • Avoid excessive grapefruit juice (>1 L/day) • Report unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine immediately
