Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. While it is not primarily used to treat high blood pressure, some studies have shown that it may have an additional benefit in reducing the risk of heart attacks and deaths from heart attacks when added to effective blood pressure treatment [2]. However, it is important to note that this study does not suggest that Lipitor can reduce the need for blood pressure medication. Blood pressure medication is prescribed to lower blood pressure, while Lipitor is prescribed to lower cholesterol levels [3]. It is important to follow the advice of a healthcare professional regarding the use of these medications and any potential interactions or side effects [1][2][3].
