Lipitor increases the number of hepatic low-density-lipid (LDL) receptors, thus increasing LDL uptake and catabolism of LDL. Atorvastatin reduces LDL and total triglyceride (TG) production as well as increases the plasma level of high-density lipids (HDL). ]]> 2021-09-16 14:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dalanginsebastian/b7b4qntwehk4iwdf/wish/1746096492 dalanginsebastian https://padlet.com/dalanginsebastian/b7b4qntwehk4iwdf/wish/1746097732 Adjunct to diet for the reduction of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia. ]]> 2021-09-16 14:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dalanginsebastian/b7b4qntwehk4iwdf/wish/1746097732 dalanginsebastian https://padlet.com/dalanginsebastian/b7b4qntwehk4iwdf/wish/1746098419  Hypersensitivity to atorvastatin, myopathy, active liver disease, unexplained persistent transaminase elevations, pregnancy (category X), lactation. ]]> 2021-09-16 14:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dalanginsebastian/b7b4qntwehk4iwdf/wish/1746098419 dalanginsebastian https://padlet.com/dalanginsebastian/b7b4qntwehk4iwdf/wish/1746105563 Body as a Whole: Back pain, asthenia, hypersensitivity reaction, myalgia, rhabdomyolysis.
