Lipitor Information - What is Lipitor?
Lipitor is a prescription drug for lowering cholesterol. For people with high
cholesterol, Lipitor (Atorvaststin), in combination with diet, can reduce
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides levels
significantly. Accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of your
arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis) decreases blood flow and,
therefore, the oxygen supply to your heart, brain, and other parts of your
body.
Lowering your blood level of cholesterol and fats with Lipitor may help to
prevent heart disease, angina (chest pain), strokes, and heart attacks.
In Canada, Lipitor drug is the number one prescribed medication to
reduce cholesterol.
