  • Description

    Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering agent. Atorvastatin is an HMG Co-A reductase inhibitor, competitively inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, an early and rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis, this mechanism results in a compensatory increase in the expression of LDL receptors on hepatocyte membranes and a stimulates catabolism of LDL. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors not only decrease the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), but they also exhibit pleiotropic properties like; improving endothelial function, reduction in inflammation at the site of the coronary plaque, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and anticoagulant effects . This drug is indicated for patients with primary hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia as an adjunct to diet to reduce elevated total-Cholesterol, LDL-C, non HDL-C, and TG levels and to increase HDL-C, in patients with hypertriglyceridemia as an adjunct to diet.

  • Food Interaction

    Diet modification and monitoring is mandatory with use of lipid lowering agents. Grapefruit juice may increase serum concentration of atorvastatin. Red yeast rice are rich with variable quantities of different compounds that have structural similarity to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, primarily monacolin K (or mevinolin) which is structurally identical to lovastatin; so concomitant use of red yeast rice with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors may result in increased incidence of adverse or toxic effects of this drug.
