How atorvastatin work in human body?

Answer 1

Atorvastatin works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that your body uses to make cholesterol. When less cholesterol is produced, the liver takes up more cholesterol from the bloodstream. This results in lower levels of cholesterol circulating in your blood.

Lipitor - Atorvastatin is used with diet changes (restriction of cholesterol and fat intake) to reduce the amount of cholesterol and certain fatty substances in your blood.

Accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of your arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis) decreases blood flow and, therefore, the oxygen supply to your heart, brain, and other parts of your body. Lowering your blood level of cholesterol and fats may help to prevent Heart disease, angina (chest pain), strokes, and heart attacks.

Answer 2

Atorvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in cholesterol production in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin reduces the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, while also increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels. This helps to lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.
