阿托伐他汀去哪买的到？

Atorvastatin (Lipitor) is currently the most commonly used statin lipid-lowering drug and is widely used clinically. For example, in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is a drug that should be taken for a long time. Long-term use (Lipitor) will have the following two main adverse reactions:

1. Liver function damage is mainly clinically manifested as an increase in aspartate and alanine aminotransferase. If the elevation of transaminases is > three times the upper limit of normal, clinically the drug should be discontinued or the dosage should be reduced, and hepatoprotective treatment should be performed;

2. Muscle injury, patients may present with muscle weakness and myalgia, with or without elevated muscle enzymes. If muscle enzymes exceed five times the normal value, the drug must be stopped immediately;

3. Some patients will also experience muscle weakness and myalgia, but there will be no increase in creatine kinase. If these patients cannot tolerate it, they need to stop taking the drug or switch to other statin drugs that cause less muscle damage.

Generally speaking, the safety of atorvastatin (Lipitor) is very high, the proportion of clinical adverse reactions is relatively small, no more than 3%, and the clinical benefits far outweigh its possible risks.
