Are there any generic versions of lipitor available?



Yes, there are generic versions of Lipitor available. According to DrugPatentWatch [1], the patent for Lipitor expired in 2011, which means that other companies can now produce and sell generic versions of the drug. Atorvastatin is the generic name for Lipitor, and it is available in various strengths and formulations [2]. The generic version of Lipitor is typically less expensive than the brand-name version, making it a more affordable option for those who need to take this medication regularly [3]. However, it is important to note that some people may experience different side effects or have different responses to the generic version of Lipitor compared to the brand-name version, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen [3].
