When should i take the missed lipitor dose?



Lipitor is a medication that is used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. If you miss a dose of Lipitor, you should take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. It is important not to take a double dose to make up for a missed one. [2]

Lipitor is usually taken once a day, with or without food. It is important to take it at the same time every day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses. [3]
