Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. According to the sources provided, the recommended dosage of Lipitor for BP (blood pressure) patients varies depending on the patient's medical history and current condition.

The FDA-approved label for Lipitor recommends a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily for patients with high cholesterol levels. The dose can be increased up to 80 mg once daily if necessary, but the maximum recommended dose for patients with high blood pressure is 40 mg/day [3].

Medscape also recommends starting with a low dose of Lipitor (10-20 mg/day) for patients with hypertension, and adjusting the dose based on the patient's response and tolerance. The article notes that some studies have shown that higher doses of statins (such as Lipitor) may increase the risk of new-onset diabetes, particularly in patients with risk factors such as obesity and high blood sugar levels [2].

DrugPatentWatch provides information on the various patents and formulations of Lipitor, but does not offer specific dosing recommendations [1].

In summary, the recommended dosage of Lipitor for BP patients depends on individual factors such as cholesterol levels, medical history, and risk factors for side effects. The FDA-approved label recommends a maximum dose of 40 mg/day for patients with high blood pressure, while Medscape suggests starting with a low dose and adjusting as needed. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage for their specific situation.
