Sandoz Atorvastatin 10 mg film-coated tablets

Atorvastatin is a widely prescribed medication belonging to the class of drugs known as statins, used primarily to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. This specific packaging, identifiable by its distinct orange and white design and 'swirl' logo, is produced by Sandoz, a global leader in generic and biosimilar pharmaceuticals.

Sandoz was originally founded in Switzerland and spent many decades as a key division of the multnational pharmaceutical giant Novartis. However, in late 2023, Sandoz was spun off into an independent, publicly traded company. As a global provider of generic medications, Atorvastatin is manufactured across a network of facilities primarily located in Europe and Asia to supply international markets, including the UK.

The brand has a deep heritage in European pharmacy, tracing its roots back to Basel, Switzerland. Following its separation from Novartis, Sandoz remains headquartered in Switzerland, functioning as a standalone entity focused on increasing global access to affordable, high-quality healthcare products.
