Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Atorvastatin is a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that is commonly used in the treatment of various lipid disorders such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia in dogs. This medication works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the production of cholesterol in the body, thereby reducing the levels of harmful lipids in the bloodstream.

Atorvastatin is specifically indicated for the reduction of elevated total cholesterol, LDL-C, Apo B, and triglycerides, and to increase HDL-C in dogs. By doing so, it helps to prevent the buildup of cholesterol and fats along the walls of the blood vessels, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Furthermore, Atorvastatin is also indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in dogs, providing an additional layer of protection for their heart health.

For optimal results, Atorvastatin should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise program. This medication is administered orally, with a recommended dose of 0.5-2 mg/kg once daily. The exact dosage, however, should be adjusted based on the dog's response to the treatment and under the guidance of a veterinarian.

While Atorvastatin is generally well-tolerated, it should be used with caution in dogs with hepatic impairment as it is metabolized in the liver. Regular monitoring of liver function is recommended during the course of treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Atorvastatin in your pet, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
