What is the lowest dose of lipitor?

What is the lowest available dose of Lipitor (atorvastatin)?

The lowest dose of Lipitor is 10 mg (once daily).

Is there a lower dose than 10 mg?

With standard Lipitor tablets, 10 mg is the smallest strength available. Lower doses are typically not part of the usual tablet strengths; if a patient needs less than 10 mg, the prescriber may instead adjust the regimen (for example, by using a different tablet strength where appropriate or changing the dosing approach), but 10 mg is the lowest labeled tablet dose.

Does “lowest dose” mean the smallest dose for everyone?

Not necessarily. The “lowest dose” for a specific person depends on why it is being used (for example, cholesterol-lowering goals, other risk factors, liver considerations, and drug interactions). Clinicians often start at a dose they judge appropriate for the patient’s risk and response, which may be 10 mg for some patients.

Where can I check the exact tablet strengths?
