Atorvastatin is primarily used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is not typically prescribed to lower blood pressure.

• What Atorvastatin Does: It helps reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good cholesterol).

• Blood Pressure Effects: Atorvastatin does not directly lower blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe other medications specifically for that.

• Why It Matters: Managing cholesterol and blood pressure together is important for heart health, but they are treated with different types of medicines.

If you have concerns about your blood pressure or medications, it's best to discuss them with your doctor for personalized advice.
