Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It is not typically prescribed for hypertension. However, it may be used in combination with other medications to manage hypertension and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with high blood pressure.

The recommended dosage of Lipitor depends on the patient's age, gender, and medical history. According to the FDA-approved label [3], the starting dose of Lipitor for adults is usually 10-20 mg once daily, and the maximum recommended dose is 80 mg once daily. The dose may be adjusted based on the patient's response to the medication and the presence of other medical conditions or medications.

Medscape [2] recommends starting with a low dose of Lipitor (10-20 mg/day) and increasing the dose gradually to achieve the desired cholesterol-lowering effect. It also suggests that the maximum dose of Lipitor (80 mg/day) should only be used in patients who have not achieved their target cholesterol levels with lower doses and who do not have any contraindications or drug interactions.

DrugPatentWatch [1] provides information on the different strengths and formulations of Lipitor that are available, including 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg tablets.

In summary, Lipitor is not typically prescribed for hypertension but may be used in combination with other medications to manage high blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. The recommended dosage of Lipitor depends on the patient's age, gender, and medical history, and the dose may be adjusted based on the patient's response to the medication. The starting dose of Lipitor is usually 10-20 mg once daily, and the maximum recommended dose is 80 mg once daily.
