How long does it take for lipitor to lower ldl levels?



After reviewing the available information, I can report that Lipitor, a medication commonly prescribed to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, begins to reduce LDL levels within 2-4 weeks of starting the medication [1]. However, it may take up to 6 weeks to see the full effects of Lipitor on LDL levels [1][2]. It's important to note that the time it takes for Lipitor to lower LDL levels can vary from person to person, and it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
