Precautions:

• Liver disease: Atorvastatin can affect liver function, so it should be avoided or used with caution in patients with active liver disease.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: It should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as it may harm the unborn baby or infant.
• Alcohol consumption: Excessive drinking can increase the risk of liver problems, so moderation is advised while taking atorvastatin.
• Kidney issues: Patients with kidney problems should consult their doctor before using atorvastatin.
• Drug interactions: Atorvastatin may interact with certain drugs, such as other cholesterol-lowering medications, blood thinners, antifungal medications, and some antibiotics, increasing the risk of side effects.
• Diabetes: Statins, including atorvastatin, may slightly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in some people, particularly those already at high risk for it.
