See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Lipitor, a medication commonly prescribed to manage high cholesterol levels, works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the production of cholesterol in the body [1]. However, Lipitor does not specifically limit or target particular types of fats. Instead, it generally reduces the overall production of cholesterol, which is a type of fat, within the body.

It is essential to maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise routine, even when taking cholesterol-lowering medications like Lipitor. This includes monitoring the intake of various fats, such as saturated fats, trans fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats [2]. While Lipitor helps manage cholesterol levels, it does not directly affect other types of fats.

In summary, Lipitor helps lower cholesterol levels in the body, but it does not specifically limit or target particular types of fats [1][2].
