See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Lipitor
Lipitor (atorvastatin) comes in tablet strengths of 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg.
Common prescribing starts at a low-to-moderate dose and is then adjusted based on the condition being treated (for example, cholesterol levels) and the patient’s response. Tablets are taken by mouth once daily, and doses can be titrated upward to higher strengths (up to 80 mg) as needed.
Because Lipitor is supplied as tablets in fixed strengths (10/20/40/80 mg), dosing is generally adjusted by prescribing a different strength tablet rather than relying on splitting. If a specific dosing plan requires a nonstandard amount, the prescriber may choose the closest tablet strength or an alternative regimen to match the target dose.
