Not pravastain, it is called pravastatin.
They are different drugs but both are statin drugs. Atorvastatin (generic form of Lipitor) is considered more powerful than pravastatin (generic for Pravachol) but Atorvastatin also has more side effects and is may more likely be harmful to liver and kidneys..
Atorvastatin calcium.
Atorvastatin calcium is the salt form of atorvastatin, and the conversion is not a direct 1:1 ratio due to differences in molecular weight. For atorvastatin, the typical conversion is approximately 1.2 times the dosage of atorvastatin when expressed as atorvastatin calcium. Therefore, 10 mg of atorvastatin corresponds to roughly 12 mg of atorvastatin calcium. Always consult with a healthcare professional for precise dosing information.
The generic drug Atorvastatin goes by the brand name Lipitor.

Atorvastatin
Atorvastatin was discovered in 1985 by Bruce Roth and colleagues at Warner-Lambert (now Pfizer). It was later approved for medical use in 1996.
Yes, there is no problem in taking lipitor (atorvastatin) and pepcid (famotidine). There is no real interaction between those two drugs.
Atorvastatin crystalline forms have a defined molecular arrangement with a specific lattice structure, making them more stable and predictable in terms of properties and behavior. In contrast, atorvastatin amorphous lacks a defined structure, resulting in higher solubility and faster dissolution rates, but it is less stable and more prone to changes under different environmental conditions.

Calcium carbonate is added to Atorvastatin calcium tablets as a buffering agent to help stabilize the pH of the tablet formulation. This helps ensure the drug remains stable and active throughout its shelf life. Additionally, calcium carbonate can aid in the absorption of Atorvastatin in the body.
Yes, it is generally safe to eat Cutie oranges while taking atorvastatin. There are no known interactions between atorvastatin and oranges or other citrus fruits that would pose a risk. However, it's always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about your diet while on medication.
