Description
Lipitor is prescribed to individuals with various forms of hypercholesterolemia, in conjunction with dietary measures, to reduce elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the bloodstream (referred to as high blood cholesterol levels).
Additionally, it is employed to proactively prevent a first cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack, in individuals identified as high-risk patients. Atorvastatin serves as the generic counterpart to Lipitor.
