Lipitor is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It is a brand-name drug that contains the active ingredient atorvastatin [1].

The official website for Lipitor provides information on savings and discounts for eligible patients. The Lipitor Savings Card can be used by eligible patients to reduce their out-of-pocket costs for Lipitor to as little as $4 per month for a maximum savings of up to $1,800 per year. Patients can check their eligibility and print the savings card from the website [2].

However, it is unclear whether seniors specifically are eligible for these discounts. The website does not provide any information on age requirements for the savings card.

In 2010, Senators Baucus, Grassley, and Kohl conducted an investigation into pharmaceutical deals that limited access to generic drugs. The investigation found that some pharmaceutical companies paid other companies to delay the release of generic versions of their drugs, which resulted in higher prices for consumers. Lipitor was one of the drugs mentioned in the investigation [3].

In conclusion, while the official website for Lipitor provides information on savings and discounts for eligible patients, it is unclear whether seniors specifically are eligible for these discounts. Additionally, Lipitor was part of an investigation into pharmaceutical deals that limited access to generic drugs, which could potentially affect the availability and affordability of the drug for seniors.
