Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. The recommended dosage of Lipitor depends on the individual's cholesterol levels and other medical conditions [3]. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], Lipitor is available in various dosages ranging from 10mg to 80mg.

As per the National Center for Biotechnology Information [2], the dosage of Lipitor can be increased to achieve the desired reduction in cholesterol levels. However, the dosage increase is not permanent and should be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The healthcare professional may increase the dosage based on the individual's response to the medication and any side effects experienced.

Lipitor can cause side effects such as muscle pain, weakness, and liver problems [3]. The Mayo Clinic [3] recommends that individuals who experience muscle pain or weakness while taking Lipitor should inform their healthcare provider immediately. In some cases, the healthcare provider may reduce the dosage or switch to a different medication.

In conclusion, the dosage of Lipitor can be increased to achieve the desired reduction in cholesterol levels. However, the dosage increase is not permanent and should be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Individuals who experience side effects while taking Lipitor should inform their healthcare provider immediately [1][2][3].
