Is there a maximum dosage for lipitor and ibuprofen?



Lipitor is a brand name for atorvastatin, a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to the prescribing information provided by the manufacturer, the maximum recommended daily dose of Lipitor is 80 mg [1]. However, the actual dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient's individual needs and medical history.

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce fever. The maximum recommended daily dose of ibuprofen for adults is 1200 mg, which can be taken as 400 mg every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 3200 mg per day [3]. However, the actual dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient's individual needs and medical history.

It is important to note that both Lipitor and ibuprofen can have potential side effects and interactions with other medications. Patients should always follow the dosage instructions provided by their healthcare provider and report any adverse effects to their doctor immediately.
