Save With Generic Lipitor For Cholesterol Control

You may be at risk for heart disease if you have high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad cholesterol” or elevated fatty substances (triglycerides) in your blood. Atorvastatin may also be prescribed to children 10-17 years old who have high both cholesterol and triglycerides due to the hereditary condition heterozygous hypercholesterolemia. Heterozygous hypercholesterolemia causes cholesterol due to the body’s inability to remove cholesterol from the blood.

Atorvastatin belongs to the drug class HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). Statins work by slowing the body’s production of cholesterol, which can prevent atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis, also called blocked or hardened arteries, develop when fat and cholesterol build up on arterial walls and stop or slow blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body.
