Atorvastatin brand names?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Atorvastatin

What brand names does atorvastatin come in?

Atorvastatin is sold under multiple brand names depending on the manufacturer and country. Common brand names include:

- Lipitor (the best-known atorvastatin brand)
- Sortis
- Atorvastatin Teva (a brand-style presentation used in some markets)

Why are there multiple brand names for the same drug?

Brand names can vary because different companies market atorvastatin in different regions, and some products are sold under company-specific brand titles even though the active ingredient is the same.

Is Lipitor the only atorvastatin brand?

No. Lipitor is widely recognized, but other brands (like Sortis and certain Teva-branded products) have also been marketed in various places.

How can patients check the exact brand on their prescription?

Patients can confirm by checking the label for the trade name and matching it to the active ingredient, which should list atorvastatin (usually shown as atorvastatin calcium). If you share your country and the exact label text, I can help identify what it corresponds to.
