Pharmacological properties:

Pharmacodynamics. Hypolipidemic means from group of statines. The selection competitive inhibitor of GMG-KOA-reduktazy - the enzyme turning 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A into mevalonovy acid, being the predecessor of sterol including cholesterol. Triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol in a liver are included lipoproteins of very low density (LPONP), come to a blood plasma and are transported in peripheral fabrics. Lipoproteins of the low density (LPNP) are formed of LPONP during interaction with LPNP receptors. Atorvastatin reduces concentration of cholesterol and lipoproteins in a blood plasma, inhibiting GMG-KOA-reduktazu, synthesis of cholesterol in a liver and increases in number of "hepatic" receptors of LPNP at surfaces of cells that leads to strengthening of capture and a catabolism of LPNP. Reduces formation of LPNP, causes the expressed and permanent increase in activity of LPNP-receptors. Reduces concentration of LPNP at patients with a homozygous family hypercholesterolemia which usually does not give in to therapy by hypolipidemic means. Reduces concentration of the general cholesterol by 30-46%, LPNP - for 41-61%, apolipoprotein B - for 34-50% and TG - for 14-33%; causes increase in concentration holesterina-LPVP (lipoproteins of high density) and A. Dozozavisimo's apolipoprotein reduces concentration of LPNP at patients with a homozygous hereditary hypercholesterolemia, resistant to therapy by other hypolipidemic means.

Pharmacokinetics. Absorption - high. The maximum concentration (Cmax) in a blood plasma is reached in 1-2 h, Cmax at women  is 20% higher, the area under a curve "concentration time" (AUC) - is 10% lower; at a liver failure at patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (on a scale of Chayld-Pyyu In) Cmax and AUC raise in 16 and 11 times, respectively.

Food reduces the speed and duration of absorption of drug a little (by 25% and 9% respectively), however decrease in LPNP cholesterol is similar to that at Atorvastatin's use without food. Concentration of an atorvastatin at use is lower in the evening, than in morning (approximately for 30%). Linear dependence between extent of absorption and a dose of drug is revealed.

Bioavailability - 12%, system bioavailability of the inhibiting activity concerning GMG-KOA-reduktazy - 30%. Low system bioavailability is caused by presistemny metabolism in a mucous membrane of digestive tract and at "the first passing" through a liver.

The average volume of distribution - 381 l, communication with proteins of a blood plasma - 98%. It is metabolized preferential in a liver under the influence of CYP3A4 isoenzyme with formation pharmacological of active metabolites (orto-and parahydroxylated derivatives, beta oxidation products). In vitro orto-and parahydroxylated metabolites have an inhibiting effect on GMG-KOA-reduktazu, comparable to that of an atorvastatin. The inhibiting effect of drug concerning GMG-KOA-reduktazy approximately is defined on 70% by activity of the circulating metabolites.

It is removed with bile after hepatic and/or extrahepatic metabolism (is not exposed to the expressed enterohepatic recirculation).

Elimination half-life - the 14th hour. The inhibiting activity concerning GMG-KOA-reduktazy remains about 20-30 h thanks to existence of active metabolites. Less than 2% of   the dose of drug accepted inside are defined in urine. It is not removed  during a hemodialysis.


Indications to use:

Atorvastatin is applied:

- in combination with a diet for decrease in the increased concentration of the general cholesterol, cholesterol/LPNP, apolipoprotein B and triglycerides and increase in concentration of LPVP cholesterol at patients with primary hypercholesterolemia, a heterozygous family and single hypercholesterolemia and the combined (mixed) lipidemia (the IIa and IIb types across Fredrikson);

- in combination with a diet for treatment of patients with the increased serumal concentration of triglycerides (type IV across Fredrikson) and patients with a disbetalipoproteinemiya (type III across Fredrikson) at whom the dietotherapy does not give adequate effect;

- for decrease in concentration of the general cholesterol and cholesterol/LPNP at patients with a homozygous family hypercholesterolemia when the dietotherapy and other not pharmacological methods of treatment are  insufficiently effective.


Route of administration and doses:

Before Atorvastatin's appointment the patient needs to recommend a standard hypolipidemic diet which he has to continue to observe during the entire period of therapy.

The initial dose averages 10 mg of 1 times/days. The dose varies from 10 to 80 mg of 1 times/days.

Drug can be accepted with food or irrespective of meal time at any time. The dose is selected taking into account initial concentration of cholesterol/LPNP, purpose of therapy and individual effect. In an initiation of treatment and/or during increase in a dose of Atorvastatin it is necessary  to control each 2-4 weeks concentration of lipids in  a blood plasma and  as appropriate to korrigirovat a dose.

Primary hypercholesterolemia and the mixed lipidemia, and also type III and IV across Fredrikson.

In the majority cases there is enough use of a dose of 10 mg of drug Atorvastatin of 1 time a day. The essential therapeutic effect is observed in 2 weeks, as a rule, and the maximum therapeutic effect is usually observed in 4 weeks. At prolonged treatment this effect remains.

Homozygous family hypercholesterolemia.

Apply in a dose 80 mg (4 tablets on 20 mg) 1 time a day.

Use of drug for patients with a renal failure and diseases of kidneys does not exert impact on Atorvastatin's level in a blood plasma or extent of decrease in maintenance of cholesterol/LPNP at its use therefore change of a dose of drug is not required.

At a liver failure of a dose it is necessary to reduce (see the section
"With care" and "Special instructions").

At use of drug for elderly patients of distinctions in safety, efficiency or achievement of goals of hypolipidemic therapy in comparison with the general population  it was not noted.


Features of use:

Before therapy by Atorvastatin the patient needs to appoint a standard gipokholestesterinovy diet which he has to observe during the entire period of treatment.

Use of inhibitors of GMG-KOA-reduktazy for decrease in concentration of lipids in blood can lead to change of the biochemical indicators reflecting function of a liver. Function of a liver should be controlled before therapy, in 6 weeks, 12 weeks later began Atorvastatin's uses and after each increase in a dose, and also periodically, for example, each 6 months. Increase in activity of "hepatic" enzymes in blood serum can be observed during therapy by Atorvastatin. Patients at whom increase in activity of enzymes is noted have to be under control before return of activity of enzymes to norm. If values of alaninaminotranspherase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (nuclear heating plant) more than by 3 times exceed the level of an upper admissible limit, it is recommended to lower Atorvastatin's dose or to stop treatment.

Atorvastatin it is necessary to apply with care at the patients who are abusing alcohol and/or having a liver disease. The active disease of a liver or permanent increase in activity of "hepatic" transaminases of not clear genesis serve as contraindications to Atorvastatin's use.

Treatment by Atorvastatin can cause a myopathy. The diagnosis of a myopathy (pain and weakness in muscles in combination with increase in activity of KFK more than by 10 times in comparison with the upper bound of norm) follows at patients with widespread mialgiya, morbidity or weakness of muscles and/or the expressed increase in activity of KFK. Patients need to be warned that they should report immediately to the doctor about emergence of inexplicable pains or weakness in muscles if they are followed by an indisposition or fever. Therapy by Atorvastatin should be stopped in case of the expressed increase in activity of KFK or in the presence of the confirmed or estimated myopathy. The risk of a myopathy during treatment by other medicines of this class increases at simultaneous use with cyclosporine, fibrata, erythromycin, klaritromitsiny, the immunodepressive, antifungal means relating to azoles and niacin in lipidsnizhayushchy doses. Many of these drugs inhibit the metabolism mediated by CYP 3A4 isoenzyme and/or transport of medicines. Atorvastatin biotransformirutsya under the influence of CYP 3A4 isoenzyme. Applying Atorvastatin along with fibrata, erythromycin, immunosuppressive means, azolny antifungal means or niacin in lipidsnizhayushchy doses, it is necessary to weigh carefully expected advantage and risk of treatment and to regularly observe patients for the purpose of detection of pains or weakness in muscles, especially within the first months of treatment and during the periods of increase in a dose of any drug. In similar situations it is possible to recommend periodic definition of activity of KFK though such control does not allow to prevent development of a heavy myopathy.

At Atorvastatin's use, as well as other means of this class, cases of a rabdomioliz with the acute renal failure caused by a myoglobinuria are described. Therapy by Atorvastatin should be stopped temporarily or to cancel completely at emergence of signs of a possible myopathy or existence of risk factor of development of a renal failure against the background of a rabdomioliz (for example, a heavy acute infection, arterial hypotension, extensive operational surgical interventions, an injury, heavy exchange, endocrine and electrolytic disturbances and uncontrollable spasms).

Before therapy by Atorvastatin it is necessary to try to achieve control of a hypercholesterolemia by an adequate dietotherapy, increase in physical activity, decrease in body weight from patients with obesity and treatments of other states.

There are messages on development of an atonic fasciitis against the background of Atorvastatin's use, however, communication with administration of drug is possible, but so far  is not proved, the etiology  is not known.


Influence on ability of control of motor transport and work with mechanisms.

About adverse influence of Atorvastatin on ability to manage motor transport and work with mechanisms it was not reported.

Interaction with other medicines:

The risk of a myopathy during treatment by other medicines of this class increases at simultaneous use of cyclosporine, fibrat, erythromycin, a klaritromitsin, the immunodepressive, antifungal medicines relating to azoles and niacin in lipidsnizhayushchy doses.

At a concomitant use in Atorvastatin and suspension, containing magnesium and Aluminium hydroxydatum, Atorvastatin's concentration in  a blood plasma approximately decreased by 35%, however extent of reduction of concentration of cholesterol/LPNP at the same time did not change.

At simultaneous use Atorvastatin does not influence pharmacokinetics of phenazone (antipyrine) therefore interaction with other means, the metabolized same isoenzymes of cytochrome
 CYP 3A4 is not expected.

At simultaneous use of a kolestipol concentration of an atorvastatin in a blood plasma decreased approximately by 25%. However the hypolipidemic effect of a combination of Atorvastatin and a kolestipol surpassed that of each drug separately.

At repeated use of digoxin and an atorvastatin in a dose of 10 mg equilibrium concentration of digoxin in a blood plasma did not change. However at use of digoxin in a combination with Atorvastatin in a dose of 80 mg/days. Concentration of digoxin increased approximately by 20%. The patients receiving digoxin in combination with Atorvastatin should be observed.

At simultaneous use of Atorvastatin and erythromycin (500 mg
4 times/days) or a klaritromitsina (500 mg of 2 times/days) which inhibit CYP 3A4 isoenzyme were observed increase in concentration of Atorvastatin in  a blood plasma.

At simultaneous use of Atorvastatin (10 mg of 1 times/days) and azithromycin (500 mg of 1 times/days) Atorvastatin's concentration in a blood plasma did not change.

Atorvastatin did not exert clinically significant impact on concentration of a terfenadin in a blood plasma which is metabolized mainly by CYP 3A4 isoenzyme; in this regard it is represented improbable that Atorvastatin is capable to influence pharmacokinetic parameters of other substrates of an isoenzyme of CYP 3A4 significantly.

At simultaneous use of Atorvastatin and a contraceptive for the intake containing Norethisteronum and ethinylestradiol substantial increase of AUC norethindrone and ethinylestradiol approximately for 30% and 20% respectively was observed. This effect should be considered at the choice of an oral contraceptive for the woman receiving Atorvastatin.

Simultaneous use with the medicines reducing concentration of endogenous steroid hormones (including Cimetidinum, ketokonazoly, Spironolactonum), increases risk of decrease in endogenous steroid goromon (it is necessary to be careful).

When studying interaction of Atorvastatin with warfarin and Cimetidinum of signs of clinically significant interaction it is not revealed.

At simultaneous use of Atorvastatin of 80 mg and an amlodipina of 10 mg Atorvastatin's pharmacokinetics in an equilibrium state did not change.

Clinically significant undesirable interaction of Atorvastatin and antihypertensives is noted.

Simultaneous use of Atorvastatin with the inhibitors of proteases known as CYP 3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors, was followed by increase in concentration of Atorvastatin in  a blood plasma.
