Product Description

Atorvastatin Calcium is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Atorvastatin is a medication used to treat high cholesterol and prevent heart disease. It works by blocking an enzyme that is needed for the body to make cholesterol. Atorvastatin is in a class of drugs known as statins, which also includes rosuvastatin (Crestor), simvastatin (Zocor), and pravastatin (Pravachol). Statins are generally considered to be the most effective class of drugs for lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease. They are usually well-tolerated, but some people may experience side effects such as muscle pain, nausea, and diarrhea.

The most common side effects of atorvastatin are gastrointestinal, such as abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Other common side effects include headache, myalgia (muscle pain), and fatigue.

The recommended starting dose for adults with high cholesterol is 10-20 mg daily. The dose may be adjusted based on your response to treatment. Generally, atorvastatin should be taken at bedtime or with an evening meal. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take double doses.

While taking atorvastatin, it is important to avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice. Grapefruit can increase the level of atorvastatin in your blood and increase the risk of side effects. Other foods to avoid include fatty foods, as they can decrease the efficacy of the medication, and alcohol, as it can increase the risk of liver damage. If you are unsure about whether a food is safe to eat while taking atorvastatin, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.

It is generally well-tolerated, but like all medications, it carries the risk of side effects. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own. However, if you experience any severe side effects, or if the side effects persist or worsen, you should stop taking atorvastatin and talk to your doctor. You should also stop taking atorvastatin if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have any questions about whether or not you should take atorvastatin, please speak with your doctor.

Yes. Calcium is combined with atorvastatin to help improve drug stability.

Atorvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for making cholesterol.

I’m recommending if you can use NextRX to go for it. When my insurance would not cover a medication I needed and it was going to cost me over $500, the pharmacist, Kierstyn, made sure to research if the could get the medication. She was able to get it for me for as low as $35.00. I was super shocked excited that I was going to be able to get my medication in order to get on track with my health. Thank you for all that you do!! Read Less

It’s kinda of insane that they can fill my prescription WITHOUT insurance and it’s still cheaper. I’ve gotten some cream for eczema that would have cost me 200 dollars WITH insurance and only pa ... Read More

Next RX is the best!! They do not take your insurance, but the cost is surprising. It is about a third of the price. I highly recommend them to all of my friends. The staff is friendly and helpful too ... Read More

The staff are always extreme nice and helpful. I have been picking prescriptions up there for someone else, and decided to ask about transferring my prescriptions there. They don’t take insurance, and my prescriptions cost 1/3 of what I was paying at Walgreens with my insurance. Amazing! I highly recommend NextRx! Read Less

I found this little Gem this year. I absolutely love NextRX. My prescriptions are half of what they cost through OptumRx or other pharmacies. It’s across town for me, but it’s worth the drive. The people are friendly, helpful and have been very fast filling my prescriptions. I recommended them to several people, and I even told my doctor to mention them to any of their patients that might have expensive prescriptions that they could possibly get cheaper here. Read Less

NEVER have I had a pharmacy be as helpful and accommodating and CHEAP as NextRx. If you are self pay or do not have insurance, USE THIS PHARMACY. My scripts are LITERALLY half the cost as when I would get them filled at Schnucks CVS. Also, one of the medication’s I take has a supply issue. They have had no problem reaching out to my doctor to adjust the prescription to accommodate what they have in stock. Thank you so much next RX for keeping me in the prescriptions that I need to help me live a successful life! Read Less

Amber Evans

Always friendly and knowledgeable! Not to mention that they save me a good deal of money on the same drugs I had been paying 3 times more for through my insurance company. Crazy but true.

Larry Fredette

I’ve had the occasion to use this pharmacy twice. An antibiotic for myself and a two week supply of antibiotics for my dog. My medication was $5, my best friend’s was $7. You will not find this price in any other retail pharmacy. Most copays are not this low. You will pay less here and be treated well. There is no hassle with insurance either (which is why it’s so cheap). This is truly one of Columbia‘s best kept secrets (but it won’t be a secret for long). Read Less

Wow! I am so excited to use NextRx! I just took my list of medications from my pharmacy into the pharmacist at NextRx, and my prescription costs will go DOWN $150 A MONTH!! I can't believe it. You must check it out for yourselves; it is more than worth your time and money! The staff are all polite and helpful too. Read Less
