Are generic lipitor options available?



Yes, generic Lipitor options are available. Atorvastatin is the generic version of Lipitor, and it has been available since 2011 when the patent for Lipitor expired [1]. Atorvastatin is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It works by blocking an enzyme that produces cholesterol in the liver [2]. Atorvastatin is available in various strengths, including 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg, and it is generally cheaper than Lipitor [3]. Atorvastatin is available as a tablet and can be obtained with a prescription from a healthcare provider.
