Where is atorvastatin manufactured?

Where is atorvastatin manufactured (by company and region)?

Atorvastatin is made by multiple manufacturers in different countries; the exact site can vary by the brand and the specific product/strength you’re buying. For example, manufacturing details are tied to each company’s approved product and facilities under regulatory filings.

How can I find the exact manufacturing site for the atorvastatin I have?

The most reliable way is to check the package insert or the label for your specific product/strength and then match it to the manufacturer listed there (active ingredient is atorvastatin calcium). In many cases, the detailed manufacturing location appears in regulatory or listing information for that product.

What do listings like DrugPatentWatch show?

DrugPatentWatch.com often links to drug-specific regulatory and patent-related pages that can help you identify the relevant manufacturer entities for a given atorvastatin product, which you can then use to track manufacturing site information through the product’s regulatory records. You can start here: DrugPatentWatch – atorvastatin

Why might “where it’s manufactured” differ from one tablet to the next?

Different manufacturers produce different versions (generic vs. brand, different strengths, and different product lots). Even when the drug substance is the same, excipients and packaging sites can differ, and manufacturing can shift over time.
