Atorlip is a cholesterol-lowering drug. Your doctor may prescribe it along with a special diet if your blood cholesterol or triglyceride level is high and you have been unable to lower your readings by diet alone. The drug works by helping to clear harmful low-density lipoprotein (ldl) cholesterol out of the blood and by limiting the body's ability to form new ldl cholesterol.
your doctor may prescribe atorlip to reduce your chances of having a heart attack or developing heart disease if you have any of the following risk factors:
are age 55 years or older
smoke
have high blood pressure
have low levels of hdl (high-density - the good cholesterol)
have a family history of early heart disease
for people at high risk of heart disease, the doctor may suggest a cholesterol-lowering medication if ldl readings are 130 or more. For those at low risk, a medication is considered at readings of 190 or more.
