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.
Lipitor and its Generic alternative Atorvastatin are available in the following forms and strength:
Lipitor should not be taken by people who have liver disease or have had an allergic reaction to atorvastatin or any of its ingredients. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also not take Lipitor.
The recommended dosage of Lipitor for adults is 10 to 80 milligrams (mg) once a day. The dosage will depend on your age, other medical conditions, and other medications you may be taking. Your doctor may start you on a lower dose and adjust it as needed.
You should take Lipitor as prescribed by your doctor, usually once a day with or without food. You should not take more or less than directed by your doctor.
If you forget to take your dose of Lipitor, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses of Lipitor at the same time.
While there is no definitive answer to this question, most studies have concluded that Lipitor is safe for long-term use. However, you should discuss any long-term use of Lipitor with your doctor.
