These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Atorvastatin is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Corn Silk is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Atorvastatin is prescribed for: Atorvastatin is used alongside a healthy diet to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol, triglycerides (blood fats), and other harmful lipids, while raising HDL ("good") cholesterol. It treats primary hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), mixed dyslipidemia (mixed abnormal blood fats), hypertriglyceridemia (high triglycerides), and inherited conditions such as heterozygous and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia — including in children aged 10 and older. Beyond cholesterol control, atorvastatin is used to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, revascularization procedures, and angina (chest pain) in adults with coronary heart disease or multiple risk factors for it — including adults with type 2 diabetes who have risk factors for heart disease even without a confirmed heart disease diagnosis.

Corn Silk has been studied for:

• Angina studied, not established Corn Silk has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

  Corn Silk for angina

  It is unclear if oral corn silk is beneficial in patients with angina.

• Hypercholesterolemia studied, not established Corn Silk has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

  Corn Silk for hypercholesterolemia

  Although there has been interest in using oral corn silk for hypercholesterolemia, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of corn silk for this purpose.

• Diabetes studied, not established Corn Silk has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

  Corn Silk for diabetes

  It is unclear if oral corn silk is beneficial in patients with diabetes.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Atorvastatin on your own; if you are taking Corn Silk for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Out of every supplement and medication people look up on HelloPharmacist, here is where these two land this week — and which way each has been moving.

Position among everything looked up on this site, not a measure of how commonly either one is used or how important it is. A supplement can climb this list because of a news story. It counts every request to the page, automated ones included, and nothing here identifies anyone.

Natural Medicines records Atorvastatin as a medicine that can lower these. This is not an interaction with Corn Silk — it is a separate effect of the medicine, and it is a reason some people are advised to supplement rather than to avoid one:
