How long does it take for Lipitor to lower cholesterol?

Lipitor usually begins lowering LDL cholesterol within 2 weeks of starting treatment. Full effects appear around 4 to 6 weeks. Doctors often recheck blood work at the 4-week mark to measure progress.

How does Lipitor work with antidepressants?

Lipitor belongs to the statin class of drugs and works independently of antidepressant treatment. It does not interact with most antidepressants in any meaningful way. Some antidepressants, however, may raise cholesterol themselves, so doctors monitor patients on both medications.

What side effects should patients taking both drugs watch for?

Patients report muscle pain as the häufigste complaint with Lipitor. Antidepressants sometimes produce fatigue or weight gain, which can overlap with statin-related symptoms. Any persistent muscle soreness or unexplained pain should prompt a visit to the doctor.

When does Lipitor's patent expire?

Lipitor's primary U.S. patent expired in 2011. Generic atorvastatin has been available ever since.
