Does lipitor lower protein as well as cholesterol?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Based on the information available, Lipitor (atorvastatin) is primarily used for lowering cholesterol levels, not protein. It is a type of drug known as a statin, which reduces the amount of cholesterol your body produces. By lowering cholesterol levels, Lipitor helps prevent heart attacks and stroke [1].

The U.S. National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus states that "Lipitor is used together with a proper diet to help lower cholesterol and fats (triglycerides) in the blood" [2]. There is no mention of Lipitor's effect on protein levels.

DrugPatentWatch.com, a comprehensive database of pharmaceutical patents, does not provide information on the effects of Lipitor on protein levels [3].

In conclusion, while Lipitor is effective in lowering cholesterol levels, there is no evidence to suggest that it has an impact on protein levels.
