Lipitor is a medication used to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, which can lead to a reduction in the risk of heart attack and stroke [2]. It is not primarily prescribed for fat reduction. However, it is possible that a reduction in cholesterol levels could lead to a reduction in body fat, as high cholesterol levels have been linked to obesity [2].

The recommended starting dose of Lipitor is typically 10-20 mg once daily, with the maximum recommended dose being 80 mg once daily [3]. The appropriate dosage for an individual patient will depend on a variety of factors, including their medical history, current health status, and other medications they may be taking [2].

It is important to note that Lipitor can have side effects, including muscle pain and weakness, liver damage, and an increased risk of diabetes [2]. Patients taking Lipitor should be monitored closely by their healthcare provider to ensure that the medication is working effectively and not causing any adverse effects.

In conclusion, Lipitor is not primarily prescribed for fat reduction, but rather to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. The appropriate dosage for an individual patient will depend on a variety of factors, and patients taking Lipitor should be monitored closely for side effects [2][3].
