When to take Lipitor

Lipitor can be taken at any time of day. The timing does not affect how well it works because the drug stays active in the body for more than 24 hours.

Should I take Lipitor with food?

You can take Lipitor with or without food. Food does not change how much of the drug the body absorbs.

What if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once.

Why is consistent timing still recommended?

Taking Lipitor at the same time each day helps you remember to take it regularly. Missing doses can reduce its ability to lower cholesterol over time.
