Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Aggressive $\text{LDL}$ Cholesterol Reduction | Highly effective in significantly lowering $\text{LDL}$ ("bad") cholesterol levels, which is the primary therapeutic goal in preventing atherosclerosis. |
| Cardiovascular Event Prevention | Used for both primary prevention (preventing a first event in high-risk patients) and secondary prevention (preventing recurrent events like heart attack or stroke) in patients with coronary artery disease. |
| Plaque Stabilization | Beyond lipid lowering, Atorvastatin exhibits pleiotropic effects, including reducing inflammation and stabilizing atherosclerotic plaque, thereby reducing the risk of plaque rupture. |
| Once-Daily Dosing | The long-acting nature of Atorvastatin allows for a convenient once-daily dose, which is critical for long-term adherence to this lifelong therapy. |

12 You must report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness immediately to your doctor.Monitoring: Your doctor will likely conduct blood tests to check liver function (LFTs) before starting and during treatment.
Alcohol: Limit alcohol intake while taking Atorvastatin, as heavy drinking can increase the risk of liver side effects.
