Lipitor Equivalents
Active Ingredients: Atorvastatin
Lipitor (Atorvastatin) is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol in the body. Lipitor reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease. Lipitor is used to treat high cholesterol. Lipitor is also used to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications in people with coronary heart disease or type 2 diabetes.
Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found in all parts of the body. Your body makes some cholesterol, and some cholesterol comes from the food you eat. Your body needs a little bit of cholesterol to work properly. But too much cholesterol can clog your arteries and lead to heart disease. More than half of the adult population has blood cholesterol levels higher than the desirable range. High cholesterol levels often begin in childhood. If lifestyle changes do not help or your cholesterol level remains very high, your doctor may recommend Lipitor as a medication.
