Lipitor is a brand name for atorvastatin, a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], Lipitor is still under patent protection and no generic versions are available yet. However, there are several alternative medications available that work similarly to Lipitor.

For those who prefer to use natural alternatives, there are some herbs that may help to lower cholesterol levels. The British Heart Foundation [2] suggests that plant stanols and sterols, found in foods such as nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils, can help to lower cholesterol levels. Additionally, garlic, ginger, and turmeric have been found to have cholesterol-lowering properties. However, it is important to note that these natural alternatives have not been extensively studied and their effectiveness may vary from person to person.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before using any alternative treatments for high cholesterol. They can provide guidance on the most appropriate course of treatment for an individual's specific needs.
