1.
What Lipitor is and what it
is used for
Lipitor belongs to a group of medicines
known as statins, which are lipid (fat)
regulating medicines.
Lipitor is used to lower lipids known as
cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when
a low fat diet and life style changes on their
own have failed. If you are at an increased risk
of heart disease, Lipitor can also be used to
reduce such risk even if your cholesterol levels
are normal. You should maintain a standard
cholesterol lowering diet during treatment.
