Introduction
Atorvastatin Calcium is a pivotal pharmaceutical API utilized in the management of high cholesterol and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. It belongs to the class of statin medications, which work by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, thus reducing cholesterol production in the liver and lowering LDL cholesterol levels. Atorvastatin also helps to increase HDL cholesterol levels, promoting overall cardiovascular health. Administered orally, dosages vary based on individual patient factors and cholesterol levels. While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include muscle pain, liver enzyme abnormalities, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Regulatory adherence ensures stringent quality and safety standards during manufacturing, ensuring reliability in Atorvastatin Calcium-containing pharmaceutical products
