Atorvastatina ratiopharm

Atorvastatina ratiopharm is a generic medication used primarily for lowering cholesterol. The brand ratiopharm originated in Germany in 1974, founded by Adolf Merckle as the first German company to focus solely on generic drugs. It quickly became a leader in the European generic market.

Today, ratiopharm is a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., an Israeli multinational pharmaceutical company. Teva acquired ratiopharm in 2010 to strengthen its presence in Europe. While the brand has its roots in Ulm, Germany, the manufacturing of its products now takes place across a vast global network of facilities located in Europe, Israel, and North America, depending on the specific product line and regional distribution needs.
