According to various sources, including DrugPatentWatch.com, a new Lipitor discount card may not be necessary for each prescription. Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.

Lipitor is a patented medication, and its patent expired in 2011. This means that generic versions of Lipitor are now available, which can be more affordable than the brand-name version. Many pharmacies and online retailers offer discounts and coupons for Lipitor, including generic versions.

In most cases, a patient's healthcare provider will prescribe a specific dosage and duration of treatment. The patient's insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs will also affect the cost of the medication. However, a new discount card may not be necessary for each prescription, as the patient's insurance coverage and costs may remain the same.

That being said, it's always a good idea for patients to check with their insurance provider and pharmacist to confirm their coverage and costs for each prescription. Additionally, patients may want to explore other options, such as generic versions or alternative medications, to find the most affordable option for their treatment.
