Lipitor drug description and what Lipitor is used to treat

Lipitor (Atorvastatin) belongs to a cluster of drugs known as statin. This is used for treatment of dislypedemia and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. This works by lowering blood cholesterol levels and controls swelling in the artery walls. When blood cholesterol is regulated there is a lessened incidence of stroke. Like all statins, it inhibits an enzyme found in the liver tissue which has a significant role in producing cholesterol in human body.

Contraindications of this medicine are active liver diseases like cholestasis, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatitis and jaundice. It is also absolutely contraindicated to pregnancy and lactation. Fetus may not survive at birth because of the possible effects of this drug in its development. It is also likely to be excreted in human milk so nursing mothers should stop breastfeeding if taking this drug.

Dosage entails many considerations. It depends on the type of disease to be treated. The age of the patient should also be greatly considered before administration. Orally dispensed, it is rapidly absorbed by the body. It can be taken without regards to meals. Food might decrease the rate and extent of absorption but it does not affect its efficiency. In some cases, this is administered with adjunct diet requirements because some food interactions have been recorded.
