What does atorvastatin do for your body?

Atorvastatin is a statin medication that lowers high cholesterol to reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.

How does it work?

It works by blocking an enzyme your body uses to make cholesterol, lowering levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while slightly increasing “good” HDL cholesterol. By reducing cholesterol and inflammation in your arteries, atorvastatin helps lower your risk of heart disease.
