WHAT LIPITOR 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 [total cholesterol, low-

and other fats (triglycerides) and to
increase high density lipoprotein
cholesterol (HDL-C) in the blood when a
low fat diet and lifestyle changes on their

LIPITOR can lower the risk for heart
attack, stroke, certain types of heart

have heart disease or risk factors for heart



low HDL-C, heart disease in the

smoking, or high blood pressure.
