Lipitor
LIPITOR® is a prescription drug. It is used in patients with multiple risk factors such as family history, high blood pressure, age, low HDL (“good” cholesterol) or smoking to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. When diet and exercise alone are not enough, LIPITOR is used along with a low-fat diet and exercise to lower cholesterol.
