Lipitor - Cholesterol-lowering medication
Lipitor, Zarator
(Atorvastatin calcium)
About Lipitor
Lipitor is a HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor, also known as a statin. This
class of treatments for high cholesterol is fairly new, and appears to
work by blocking a liver enzyme which generates cholesterol. This
medication appears to be the most effective in this class of drugs at
lowering unhealthy LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels, in
some cases up to 51%. It can be virtually as effective as an angioplasty
in treating stable coronary artery disease.
Currently, this drug is approved for use in patients with high cholesterol
(hypercholesterolemia) due to high LDL levels, hereditary elevated fat
levels (dysbetalipoproteinemia), familial high cholesterol, and to
increase HDL (high-density lipoprotein) levels in patients with high
cholesterol and those with both high cholesterol and high triglycerides
(mixed dyslipidemia).
Other accepted uses include the treatment of stable coronary artery
diseas, preventing coronary heart disease, preventing clogged stents
(tubes) placed in coronary arteries after surgery, preventing bone loss in
type two diabetics, stabilizing lipid levels that have been altered by
treatment with protease inhibitors.
This treatment should be considered a last resort. The best way to lower
cholesterol is through a program of healthy diet and exercise, and these
should be maintained during treatment with Lipitor.
What is Lipitor (Zarator)?
Zarator is a prescription drug in one of the newest classes of
cholesterol-lowering medications, called statins. These drugs have been
used widely for the last 5 years. For people with high cholesterol,
Lipitor , in combination with a low-fat diet, can reduce your LDL
cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
How does Lipitor, (Zarator) work?
Zarator 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.
(Zarator is the European name for Lipitor)
