PHARMACOLOGY :
Lipovast (Atorvastatin) is a synthetic lipid-lowering agent. Atorvastatin is a selective, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that converts 3-hydroxy-3methylglutaryl-coenzyme A to mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol. As mevalonate is produced, it is then converted into cholesterol. Moreover, It activates lipoproteinlipase which breaks down triglyceride by hydrolysis.
