GlossaryAtorvastatin

medication that lowers cholesterol by inhibiting liver enzyme production

Atorvastatin, commonly known by the brand name Lipitor, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. This helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.
