How quickly does lipitor lower blood pressure?



Lipitor is a medication that is primarily used to lower cholesterol levels in the body, and it is not typically prescribed to treat high blood pressure [1]. However, a study conducted by Pfizer found that adding Lipitor to effective blood pressure treatment can provide a significant reduction in heart attacks or deaths from heart attacks over five years [3].

It is important to note that Lipitor does not have an immediate effect on blood pressure. In fact, it can take several weeks or even months for the medication to have a noticeable effect on cholesterol levels [2].

While Lipitor is not a medication that is prescribed specifically to treat high blood pressure, it may be used in conjunction with other medications to help reduce the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events [3]. It is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making changes to an existing treatment plan.
