Atorvastatin is mainly used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, which can treat atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia by reducing the level of LDL cholesterol. After stopping the drug, cholesterol synthesis returns to normal levels and blood cholesterol levels return to pre-drug levels. When the patient has a serious condition or is in the treatment stage, he/she should not stop taking the drug for a while, but should take it for a long time as prescribed by the doctor. Firstly, for patients suffering from atherosclerosis, if no serious side effects such as rhabdomyolysis occur after taking it, it is recommended to take it for a long time to regulate lipids and stabilize plaque to a greater extent, so as to prevent the occurrence of plaque detachment leading to embolism and other situations, and long-term use can reduce the risk of developing other cardiovascular diseases. Secondly, patients with obesity, excessive lipids, abnormal blood glucose and fluctuating blood pressure should also take atorvastatin for a long time because they are prone to cardiovascular lesions and taking atorvastatin can control lipids and prevent serious lesions. In addition, when reviewed after atorvastatin use, if the doctor assesses that the lipids meet the standard, there are no cardiovascular risk factors as well as coronary artery disease, and there are no risk factors such as hypertension, the drug can be discontinued under the guidance of the doctor. Therefore, for patients taking atorvastatin, it is not recommended to take it for a period of time and stop it for a period of time. If the condition is serious, the patient should follow the doctor’s instructions to take it for a long time to control the progress of the disease. When the condition improves and risk factors are eliminated, the drug can be discontinued according to medical advice, and the liver function should be reviewed regularly, and a low-salt, low-fat diet and appropriate exercise should be followed to help the body recover better.
