Atorvastatin calcium is a medication used to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It belongs to the statin class of drugs, which work by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver. This helps reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems by lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol and increasing "good" HDL cholesterol. It is commonly prescribed for people with high cholesterol or those at risk for cardiovascular conditions.
