阿托伐他汀在国内是否上市？价格是多少？

Statins are one of the most effective drugs against coronary atherosclerosis (AS). They have multiple pharmacological effects such as stabilizing plaques, lowering lipids, anti-inflammation, regulating endothelial function, and anti-thrombosis. They play an important role in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Atorvastatin can inhibit HMG-CoA reductase. Atorvastatin calcium is a reducing agent of HMG-acetyl-CoA. The precursor of cholesterol is mevalonate. Atorvastatin calcium has a strong inhibitory effect on the process of converting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA into mevalonate. Therefore, atorvastatin calcium has a good regulatory effect on patients' lipid metabolism. It can reduce CRP levels and has good anti-inflammatory effects. It also has anticoagulant and antioxidant effects and can inhibit the formation of coronary plaques.

Is atorvastatin available in China? What's the price? Atorvastatin is already on the market in China, and it is relatively convenient for patients to purchase it domestically. With a prescription issued by a doctor, atorvastatin can be purchased in major domestic pharmacies and hospitals. This drug has also been successfully included in the national Class B medical insurance. Therefore, patients can enjoy certain preferential policies when purchasing this drug in China. However, the reimbursement ratios vary from place to place, so the specific prices after reimbursement by medical insurance are also different. It is recommended that patients go to the local medical insurance bureau to inquire. Even though medical insurance has helped most families reduce the financial pressure of purchasing drugs, there are still many people who are unable to use atorvastatin for long-term treatment due to the price of the drug.
