Description

Atoris (Atorvastatin) Coated Tablets 40 mg. №90

Composition:

Each tablet contains 40 mg of atorvastatin.

Mechanism of Action:

Atoris (atorvastatin) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver. It lowers total cholesterol and LDL levels by inhibiting the enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis.

Pharmacological Properties:

Atoris belongs to the statin class of drugs. It effectively lowers LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and triglyceride levels while increasing HDL cholesterol levels. The drug helps in the prevention of atherosclerosis and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.

Indications for Use:

Atoris is indicated as an adjunct to diet for the treatment of elevated total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides. It is prescribed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with hypercholesterolemia.

Contraindications:

Avoid using Atoris if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active liver disease. It is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to atorvastatin or any other component of the product.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Atoris may include muscle pain (myalgia), diarrhea, joint pain, and headache. Rare but serious side effects may include liver problems and muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis). Consult your healthcare provider if you experience any adverse reactions.

Usage Instructions:

The usual dosage of Atoris is 10-80 mg taken orally once daily. The dose should be individualized based on the patient’s lipid levels, cardiovascular risk, and response to treatment. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet.

Benefits Compared to Analogues:

Atoris, with its active ingredient atorvastatin, has been extensively studied and proven effective in reducing cholesterol levels and improving cardiovascular outcomes. Compared to other statins, atorvastatin has shown superior efficacy in lowering LDL cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Suitable Patient Groups:

Atoris can be used in various patient populations, including adults, elderly patients, and individuals with hypercholesterolemia or at risk of cardiovascular events. The dosage may need adjustment in patients with renal impairment or certain medical conditions. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations.

Storage and Shelf Life:

  • Storage: Keep Atoris tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Store in a dry place out of reach of children.
  • Shelf Life: Check the expiration date on the packaging. Do not use Atoris after the expiry date mentioned.

Packaging Description:

Atoris tablets are supplied in blister packs of 90 tablets each. The packaging is designed to protect the tablets from external factors and maintain their stability and efficacy until the expiration date.

Clinical Evidence and Proven Effectiveness:

Atoris (atorvastatin) has been the subject of numerous clinical trials and studies demonstrating its efficacy in reducing cholesterol levels and preventing cardiovascular events. The ASCOT-LLA trial, for example, highlighted the significant benefits of atorvastatin in reducing the incidence of coronary events and strokes in high-risk patients.
