Atorvastatin Calcium Trihydrate is the calcium salt form of atorvastatin, a widely prescribed statin used to manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This results in reduced levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL ("good") cholesterol. As a USP-grade substance, it meets strict pharmaceutical standards for purity and efficacy.
