1. What Atoris is and what it is used for

Atoris belongs to a group of medicines called statins, which are lipid-regulating drugs (fats).
Atoris is used to reduce lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when a low-fat diet and lifestyle changes without other measures have failed. If you are at increased risk of heart disease, Atoris may also be used to reduce this risk even if your cholesterol levels are normal. A standard cholesterol-lowering diet must be continued during treatment.

2. What you need to know before taking Atoris

Do not take Atoris:

  • If you are allergic to atorvastatin or to similar medicines used to lower blood fats, or to any of the excipients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you have or have had any liver disease.
  • If you have had unexplained abnormal blood test results indicating liver problems.
  • If you are a woman who could become pregnant and you are not using a reliable method of contraception.
  • If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
  • If you are breastfeeding.
  • If you are taking the combination of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir for the treatment of hepatitis C.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Atoris.
Atoris may not be suitable for you for the following reasons:

  • If you have previously had a stroke with brain haemorrhage, or if you have small fluid-filled pockets in the brain following previous strokes.
  • If you have kidney problems.
  • If your thyroid gland is underactive (hypothyroidism).
  • If you have experienced recurrent or unexplained muscle pain, or if you or a family member have ever had muscle problems. Also inform your doctor or pharmacist if you experience persistent muscle weakness. Additional tests and treatments may be needed to diagnose and manage this condition.
  • If you have previously experienced muscle problems while being treated with other lipid-lowering medicines (e.g. other medicines known as “statins” or “fibrates”).
  • If you regularly consume large amounts of alcohol.
  • If you have a history of liver disease.
  • If you are over 70 years old.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Atoris

  • if you suffer from severe respiratory failure.

If any of the above apply to you, your doctor may carry out blood tests before and probably during your treatment with Atoris, to assess the risk of muscle-related side effects. The risk of muscle-related side effects, such as rhabdomyolysis, is known to increase when certain medicines are taken at the same time (see section 2 “Other medicines and Atoris”).
While you are being treated with this medicine, your doctor will carefully monitor whether you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes. You are at risk of developing diabetes if you have high levels of sugar and fats in your blood, if you are overweight, and if you have high blood pressure.
Other medicines and Atoris
Some medicines may alter the effect of Atoris, or their effect may be altered by Atoris. Such interactions may make one or both medicines less effective. Conversely, this could also increase the risk or severity of side effects, including a serious condition involving muscle breakdown known as rhabdomyolysis, described in section 4:

  • Medicines used to modify the activity of the immune system, e.g. cyclosporine.
  • Certain antibiotic and antifungal medicines, e.g. erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, posaconazole, rifampicin, fusidic acid.
  • Other medicines used to regulate lipid levels, e.g. gemfibrozil, other fibrates, colestipol.
  • Certain calcium channel blockers used for angina or high blood pressure, e.g. amlodipine, diltiazem.
  • Medicines used to regulate heart rhythm, e.g. digoxin, verapamil, amiodarone.
  • Medicines used in the treatment of HIV, e.g. ritonavir, lopinavir, atazanavir, indinavir, darunavir, the combination tipranavir/ritonavir, etc.
  • Certain medicines used in the treatment of hepatitis C, e.g. telaprevir, boceprevir, and the combination of elbasvir/grazoprevir.
  • Other medicines known to interact with Atoris include ezetimibe (a cholesterol-lowering medicine), warfarin (a blood thinner), oral contraceptives, stiripentol (an anticonvulsant for epilepsy), cimetidine (used for heartburn and peptic ulcers), phenazone (a painkiller), colchicine (used to treat gout), and antacids (indigestion remedies containing aluminium or magnesium).
  • Over-the-counter medicines: St. John’s wort.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
