Product information

What Atorva Tablet is used for

How it works

Atorvastatin reduces the liver's production of cholesterol, which lowers LDL in the blood and slows the build-up of plaque in the arteries.

Common side effects

• Muscle aches and cramps
• Headache
• Indigestion
• Nausea
• Raised liver enzymes

Most side effects are mild and settle as your body adjusts. Tell your doctor if any of them persist or trouble you.
