Lipitor Key Facts
What is Lipitor?

What dosages is Lipitor available in?
Lipitor is available as a 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg oral tablet.
What is Lipitor used for?
Lipitor is a statin that is used in the prevention of heart or blood vessel problems (e.g., heart attack or stroke) in high-risk adults (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure, family history of cholesterol problems) and the treatment of high “bad” cholesterol and triglyceride levels in certain people.
How does Lipitor work?
Lipitor is a statin. The main way it works is by blocking the enzyme (protein) in your liver that makes cholesterol. As a result, Lipitor lowers your “bad” cholesterol (called low-density lipoprotein, or LDL).
