Can you recall your lipitor's dosage strength?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

I don’t have access to your personal medications, so I can’t recall your exact prescription. If you want to know the strength you have, check the tablet imprint or the label on the bottle.

Lipitor (atorvastatin) is available in these tablet strengths:
- 10 mg
- 20 mg
- 40 mg
- 80 mg

General dosing guidance (for adults, always follow your doctor’s instructions):
- Starting dose is usually 10–20 mg once daily.
- Dosing can be adjusted in 10 mg increments every 4 weeks to reach LDL targets.
- Typical maintenance range is 10–40 mg once daily.
- Maximum recommended dose is 80 mg once daily.

For children (10–17 years with certain conditions), starting dose is commonly 10 mg once daily, with titration as advised by a clinician.

If you share the printed strength on your tablet or bottle, I can help confirm which strength you have and discuss general dosing considerations. And of course, for any dosing changes or risks, consult your healthcare provider.
