How long does it usually take to take atorvastatin calcium tablets?

Atorvastatin calcium tablets (atorvastatin calcium) can usually be taken for a long time, but the specific duration of use should be determined based on individual circumstances, cholesterol levels and doctor's advice. Atorvastatin calcium tablets are often used as part of long-term treatment to control cholesterol levels. Normally, it is recommended to take it orally once a day, preferably at night before going to bed, because cholesterol synthesis peaks at night. The cholesterol-lowering effect of atorvastatin calcium tablets may gradually diminish after discontinuation of the drug. This means that if you stop using atorvastatin calcium, your cholesterol levels may rise again. In order to maintain control of cholesterol levels, doctors may recommend long-term use of atorvastatin calcium tablets.
