Lipitor is a medication that is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. The recommended dose of Lipitor depends on several factors, including the patient's age, medical history, and current health status.

According to DrugPatentWatch [1], the recommended starting dose of Lipitor for most adults is 10 mg once daily. This dose can be increased up to 80 mg once daily if necessary. However, the maximum recommended dose is 20 mg once daily for patients with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease.

Drugs.com [2] provides similar information, stating that the usual starting dose of Lipitor is 10-20 mg once daily. The maximum recommended dose is 80 mg once daily, but this dose is typically reserved for patients with severe hypercholesterolemia who have not achieved their target cholesterol levels with lower doses.

Healthline [3] also recommends starting with a dose of 10-20 mg once daily, with the maximum recommended dose being 80 mg once daily. However, the website notes that some patients may require a lower dose, particularly those with liver or kidney problems.

In summary, the recommended doses of Lipitor vary depending on the patient's individual needs and medical history. The usual starting dose is 10-20 mg once daily, with the maximum recommended dose being 80 mg once daily. However, patients with certain medical conditions may require a lower maximum dose. It is important to follow the advice of a healthcare professional when taking Lipitor or any other medication.
