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.
