Atorvastatin Calcium Trihydrate is a high-purity HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin API) used to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular disease risk. It works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver, and increasing LDL receptor activity for improved clearance of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Bluepill Express manufactures Atorvastatin Calcium Trihydrate under WHO-GMP, ISO, and cGMP-certified facilities, ensuring exceptional purity, stability, and batch-to-batch consistency. The API is suitable for tablets, capsules, and fixed-dose combination formulations and meets international IP, USP, BP, and EP pharmacopoeial standards.
Therapeutic Classification
- Lipid-lowering agent
- HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (Statin)
- Cardiovascular risk reduction
- Cholesterol and triglyceride management
Mechanism of Action
Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, resulting in:
- Decreased hepatic cholesterol production
- Upregulation of LDL receptors
- Increased clearance of LDL cholesterol
- Reduced total cholesterol, LDL-C, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B
It is effective in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with elevated cholesterol levels or other risk factors.
