How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Atorvastatin 2%/Cholesterol 2% Topical Gel is a specialized medication designed to manage high cholesterol levels. This unique formulation combines the cholesterol-lowering properties of atorvastatin, a statin medication, with cholesterol itself. The purpose of this combination is to block the production of cholesterol in the liver, thereby reducing the overall amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

The gel is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism. This design allows for easy and precise application on the skin, ensuring targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. Once applied, the gel is absorbed into the bloodstream where it works to reduce cholesterol levels. The effects of this medication can typically be observed within a few weeks of consistent use.

It's important to note that Atorvastatin 2%/Cholesterol 2% Topical Gel is not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. These lifestyle modifications are crucial components of managing cholesterol levels and should be maintained alongside the use of this medication.

As with any medication, it's important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to report any side effects that you may experience. If you have any questions or concerns about Atorvastatin 2%/Cholesterol 2% Topical Gel, please consult with your healthcare provider.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
