Lipitor is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to DrugPatentWatch [1], the patent for Lipitor expired in 2011, which means that generic versions of the drug are now available. This could potentially lead to lower prices for the medication.
Additionally, the official Lipitor website offers a savings card that can help reduce the cost of the medication for eligible patients [2]. This card can be used at most pharmacies and can save patients up to $75 per prescription fill.
Furthermore, NPR reported in 2012 that some pharmacies were offering Lipitor for free in an effort to attract customers to their stores [3]. However, this was a limited-time offer and may not be available anymore.
It is important to note that the cost of Lipitor and its generic versions can vary depending on factors such as location, insurance coverage, and pharmacy discounts. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider and pharmacist to determine the most cost-effective options for their individual situation.
