Where to Find Generic Lipitor (Atorvastatin)
Most major U.S. pharmacies stock generic atorvastatin, the FDA-approved equivalent to Lipitor made by Pfizer. It's available as tablets in strengths from 10mg to 80mg and is typically dispensed via prescription at chains, independents, and mail-order services.[1]
Big Chain Pharmacies Carrying It
Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart, and Kroger (including brands like Harris Teeter and Fred Meyer) all offer generic atorvastatin. Walmart often has the lowest everyday prices, around $4 for a 30-day supply of 10mg or 20mg via their $4 generic program.[2][3]
Online and Mail-Order Options
Amazon Pharmacy, GoodRx (partners with local pharmacies for pickup or delivery), Costco Pharmacy (membership required), and Walmart Mail Order provide generic atorvastatin with home delivery. GoodRx coupons can drop costs below $1 for 30 days at many locations.[4]
Discount Cards and Price Comparison Tools
Use GoodRx, SingleCare, or RxSaver to compare prices across 70,000+ pharmacies—generic atorvastatin averages $8–$12 for 30 days without insurance, versus $300+ for brand Lipitor.[5] These tools show real-time availability and work at independents too.
Availability Outside the U.S.
In Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall stock it; in the UK, Boots and Superdrug carry atorvastatin from Teva or Mylan. International pharmacies like PharmacyChecker-accredited ones offer it cheaper but require import verification.[6]
