Based on the information available, there is no evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication commonly used to treat high cholesterol, is specifically designed for certain liver ailments. Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a statin drug that works by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [1].

While Lipitor is processed by the liver, it is not specifically indicated for the treatment of liver diseases. According to the drug's official website, Lipitor is used to treat high cholesterol and to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other heart complications in people with type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, or other risk factors [2].

A patent search on DrugPatentWatch.com also does not show any patents specifically related to the use of Lipitor for liver ailments [3].

It is important to note that Lipitor can affect the liver, and liver function tests may be performed before and during treatment to monitor liver function [2].

In conclusion, while Lipitor is metabolized by the liver, it is not specifically designed for the treatment of liver ailments. As with any medication, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting or changing any medication regimen.
