Who adjusted your lipitor dosage?



As an AI language model, I don't take any medication and don't have a personal health record. However, I can provide you with general information on Lipitor dosage adjustments based on the sources provided.

Lipitor is a brand name for the drug atorvastatin, which is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to Healthline [2], the usual starting dose of Lipitor is 10-20 mg per day, and the maximum recommended dose is 80 mg per day. The dosage may be adjusted based on the patient's cholesterol levels and response to the medication.

Medscape [3] explains that Lipitor dosage adjustments should be made at intervals of 2-4 weeks, and the dosage should not be increased by more than 10-20 mg per day. Patients with liver disease or who are taking certain medications may require a lower dose of Lipitor.

It is important to note that only a healthcare provider can adjust a patient's Lipitor dosage. They will evaluate the patient's cholesterol levels, medical history, and other factors to determine the appropriate dosage.
