1. What Atoris is and what it is used for

Atoris belongs to a group of medicines known as statins, which are medicines that regulate lipid (fat) levels in the blood.
Atoris tablets are used to lower lipid levels, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood, when a low-fat diet and life style changes on their own have failed. If you are at an increased risk of heart disease, Atoris can also be used to reduce such risk even if your blood cholesterol levels are normal. You should maintain a standard cholesterol lowering diet during treatment.

2. What you need to know before you take Atoris Do not take Atoris

-   If you are allergic to atorvastatin, other medicines that regulate lipid levels, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
-   If you have or have had a liver disease.
-   If you have had any unexplained abnormal blood tests for liver function.
-   If you    are a woman of fertile age    and not using reliable contraception.
-   If you    are pregnant or planning to have    a baby.
-   If you    are breast-feeding.

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 a brain haemorrhage, or have small pockets of fluid in the brain from previous strokes.
-   If you    have kidney problems.
-   If you have an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
-   If you have had repeated or unexplained muscle aches or have a personal or family history of
muscular disease. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you experience continuous muscle weakness. Additional tests and medicines may be needed to diagnose and treat this.
-   If you have had previous muscular problems during treatment with other lipid-lowering medicines (e.g. other statins or fibrates).
-   If you regularly drink large amounts of alcohol.
-   If you have a history of liver disease.
-   If you are over 70 years of age.
-   If you are taking or have taken, orally or by injection, a medicine called fusidic acid (a medicine for bacterial infections) in the last 7 days. The combination of fusidic acid and Atoris can lead to serious muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis).

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Atoris:

-   If you have severe respiratory failure.
If any of the statements listed above apply to you, your doctor will need to carry out a blood test before and possibly during your treatment with Atoris to predict your risk of muscle-related side effects. The risk of muscle-related side effects, e.g. rhabdomyolysis, is known to increase when certain medicines are taken at the same time with Atoris (see section 2 “Other medicines and Atoris”).

Other medicines and Atoris

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
Some medicines may change the effect of Atoris or vice versa - their effect may be changed by Atoris. This type of interaction could make one or both of the medicines less effective. Alternatively, it could increase the risk or severity of side effects, including the important muscle damaging condition known as rhabdomyolysis (see section 4):
-   Medicines used to alter the way your immune system works, e.g. cyclosporine.
-   Certain antibiotics or antifungal medicines, e.g. erythromycin, clarithromycin,    telithromycin,
ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, posaconazole, rifampicin, fusidic acid.
-   Other medicines that regulate blood lipid levels, e.g. gemfibrozil, other fibrates, such as colestipol.
-   Some calcium channel blockers used for angina or high blood pressure, e.g. amlodipine, diltiazem.
-   Medicines used for treating arrhythmia, e.g. digoxin, verapamil, amiodarone.
-   Medicines used in the treatment of HIV, e.g. ritonavir, lopinavir, atazanavir, indinavir, darunavir, the combination of tipranavir and ritonavir etc.
-   Some medicines used in the treatment of hepatitis C, e.g. telaprevir.
-   Other medicines that may interact with Atoris include ezetimibe (which lowers    cholesterol),
warfarin (which reduces blood clotting), oral contraceptives, stiripentol (an anticonvulsant for epilepsy), cimetidine (used for heartburn and peptic ulcers), phenazone (a painkiller), colchicine (used to treat gout), antacids (medicines for indigestion, which contain aluminium or magnesium) and boceprevir (used to treat liver disease, such as hepatitis C).
-   Medicines obtained without a prescription: St. John’s Wort.
-   If you need to take oral fusidic acid to treat a bacterial infection, you will need to temporarily stop using this medicine. Your doctor will tell you when it is safe to start taking Atoris again. Taking Atoris with fusidic acid may in rare cases lead to muscle weakness, tenderness or pain (rhabdomyolysis). See more information regarding rhabdomyolysis in section 4.
Tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
