Three drugs that contain a pyrrole ring are Atorvastatin, Tolmetin, and Atorolac.

Pyrrole is a five-membered nitrogen-containing aromatic ring.

The pyrrole ring is found in many drugs.

Atorvastatin (Lipitor) is a drug known as a statin.

It is often used to control the production of cholesterol in the body.

Here is its structure and its 3D shape.

Tolmetin (Tolectin) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

It is used primarily to reduce the pain, swelling, and stiffness of arthritis.

Ketorolac (Toradol) is an NSAID that is often used to treat eye pain and the itchiness of seasonal allergies.
