It may also be used to prevent certain types of heart and blood vessel problems in patients with risk factors for heart problems
It works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body

Se retira por Av Ingeniero Eduardo Madero 133 Current understanding of statins' effects is limited by a lack of mechanism-based studies, as well as the assumption that all statins have the same pharmacological effect in the central nervous system
Like other members of its class (the "statins"), atorvastatin lowers total serum cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations It is a conjugate acid of an atorvastatin (1-)
The beneficial effects of statins are the result of their capacity to reduce cholesterol biosyntesis, mainly in the liver, where they are selectively distributed, as well as to the modulation of lipid metabolism, derived from their effect of inhibition upon HMG‐CoA reductase
Atorvastatin oral tablet dosage and frequency will depend upon several factors, the most important being the medical condition it is being targeted for and the age of the patient
Although both Rosuvastatin and Atorvastatin work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, they differ in terms of their selectivity and potency
1 Mechanism of Action
Pharmacologic: HMG CoA reductase inhibitors + + + Indications + + Adjunctive management of primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia
It also reduces triglyceride levels through an as yet unproven mechanism
In animal models, atorvastatin lowers plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein levels by inhibiting HMG-CoA Atorvastatin can be used as part of combination therapy
Mechanism of Action: Atorvastatin selectively and competitively inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis
Mechanism Of Action: Atorvastatin (Lipitor) competitively inhibit HMG coenzyme A reductase, a rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis

HMG CoA reductase is a key enzyme helping in the biosynthesis of cholesterol in the liver cells
HMG-CoA reductase catalyzes the reduction of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl- coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) to mevalonate, which is the rate-limiting step in hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis
In animal models, atorvastatin calcium tablets lowers plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein Atorvastatin (Lipitor®), is a lipid-lowering drug included in the statin class of medications
In dosages of 10 to 80 mg/day, atorvastatin reduces levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, triglyceride and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-cholesterol and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol in patients with a wide variety of dyslipidaemias
Compelling data indicate that statins, a group of lipid-lowering drugs, also have extensive immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties

Atorvastatin is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that converts HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a precursor of sterols, including cholesterol
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION * Start small Due to the dual interaction mechanism of rifampin, delayed administration of atorvastatin after administration of rifampin has been associated with a significant reduction in The Pravastatin or Atorvastatin Evaluation and Infection Therapy-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 22 (PROVE IT-TIMI 22) trial randomly assigned 4162 patients within 10 days of hospital admission for ACS to pravastatin 40 mg daily (standard therapy) or atorvastatin 80 mg daily (intensive therapy)
As a result, more of the drug is absorbed Cancer accounted for more than half the deaths from noncardiovascular causes in both groups — 75 in the group given 10 mg of atorvastatin (1

Rosuvastatin is a highly selective statin, meaning it specifically targets liver cells and has minimal effects
Atorvastatin oral tablet dosage and frequency will depend upon several factors, the most important being the medical condition it is being targeted for and the age of the patient
HMG CoA reductase is a key enzyme
This action results in a compensatory increase in the expression of LDL receptors on hepatocyte membranes and, subsequently, increased hepatic uptake and clearance Statins work in two ways to reduce your cholesterol numbers: Statins stop the production of cholesterol
