Uses / Indications: It's always best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting Atorem 10 or making any changes to your medication routine.

Drug Interactions:

Other cholesterol-lowering medications (statins): Taking Atorem 10 (which contains Atorvastatin, a statin) with other statins can increase your risk of muscle problems. Your doctor will need to carefully consider the combination.
Certain antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole): These medications can increase the amount of Atorem 10 in your blood, potentially leading to side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust your Atorem 10 dose or choose a different antifungal.
Some antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin, clarithromycin): Similar to antifungals, these can also raise the level of Atorem 10 in your blood, potentially increasing side effects. Your doctor may need to monitor you closely or adjust your dosage.
Grapefruit juice: Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Atorem 10. Grapefruit can significantly increase the amount of Atorem 10 in your body, leading to serious side effects.

How it works:
• Atorem 10 Tablet helps lower your cholesterol levels to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
  
  Atorvastatin (the main ingredient): This is a type of medicine called a statin. It works by blocking a substance your liver needs to make cholesterol. By reducing the amount of cholesterol your liver produces, your overall cholesterol levels in your blood go down. This is particularly effective at lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, while also slightly raising "good" cholesterol (HDL).
  
  No other active ingredients are typically listed for Atorem 10 tablets. The "10" refers to the dosage of Atorvastatin (10mg per tablet). The tablet may contain inactive ingredients that help hold the medication together, but these don't have a therapeutic effect.
  
  
  In short, Atorem 10 works by reducing your body's production of cholesterol, leading to lower levels in your blood and a decreased risk of heart problems.

Medicine interaction:
• It's crucial to tell your doctor about all the medications, vitamins, supplements, and even herbal remedies you're taking, including Atorem 10. This is because many substances can interact with Atorem 10 (which contains Atorvastatin, a cholesterol-lowering medication), potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Never start, stop, or change your medication dosage without first consulting your doctor.
  
  
  Here are some examples of drug classes or substances that may interact with Atorem 10:
  
  Grapefruit and grapefruit juice: Grapefruit contains compounds that can interfere with the breakdown of Atorvastatin in your liver, leading to higher levels of the drug in your blood and increasing the risk of side effects like muscle pain.
  
  Certain antifungals (like itraconazole and ketoconazole): These medications can also interfere with the liver's processing of Atorvastatin, raising blood levels and increasing the risk of side effects.
  
  Some antibiotics (like erythromycin and clarithromycin): Similar to antifungals, certain antibiotics can inhibit the liver enzymes that break down Atorvastatin, potentially leading to higher blood levels.
  
  Cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant): This drug can significantly increase the blood levels of Atorvastatin, greatly increasing the risk of muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis).
  
  Gemfibrozil and other fibrates (cholesterol-lowering drugs): Combining Atorvastatin with these drugs can increase the risk of muscle problems.
  
  Warfarin (a blood thinner): Although not a direct interaction, Atorvastatin might increase the effects of Warfarin, leading to an increased bleeding risk. Close monitoring of your blood clotting time (INR) is crucial if you're taking both medications.
  
  
  This is not an exhaustive list, and other interactions are possible. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications and supplements you are taking before starting Atorem 10 or any other medication.
