Cardyl 10 mg (Atorvastatin)

Cardyl is a well-known brand of atorvastatin, a medication belonging to the statin class used to regulate lipid levels and prevent cardiovascular events. The brand was originally developed and marketed by Pfizer, particularly for the Spanish market, where it was sold alongside other brand names like Zarator. Cardyl is chemically the same as the global blockbuster drug Lipitor.

In November 2020, as part of a significant corporate restructuring, Pfizer's Upjohn division (which managed legacy off-patent brands like Cardyl) merged with Mylan to form a new global healthcare company called Viatris. Consequently, Viatris is now the ultimate owner and distributor of the Cardyl brand in Spain and other regions.

Manufacturing of Cardyl takes place across various global facilities optimized by Viatris. While the brand has a deep association with the Spanish healthcare system, the final product dispensed may be produced in different international manufacturing hubs depending on supply chain logistics.
