Lipitor, genetically known as Atorvastatin, is a widely prescribed cholesterol-lowering medication. It is a prescribed medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol that can build up in the walls of your arteries, which can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attack.
Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) belongs to the drug class of statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor), a group of drugs that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is used in conjunction with a healthy diet to reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and increase levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood.
Patients should take Lipitor (atorvastatin) orally, usually once daily with or without food as directed by their doctor. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Patients should not split or divide a tablet without first consulting their pharmacist. Patients should take Lipitor regularly and as directed to achieve the best results.
If a patient is taking other cholesterol-lowering drugs, especially bile acid-binding resins, they should take atorvastatin at least one hour before or four hours after taking the other medications. The dosage should not be altered without consulting a doctor, as it is based on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, other medications they are taking, and age. Patients should not stop taking Lipitor abruptly, as this may worsen their condition.
In general, the recommended dosage of Lipitor for adults is 10 to 80 milligrams (mg) once a day. However, the dosage will depend on your age, other medical conditions, and other medications you may be taking.
