Based on the information available, there is no evidence to suggest that Lipitor's role is expanding to include diet advice. Lipitor is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, produced by Pfizer. It works by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [1].

However, it is well-known that diet plays a significant role in managing cholesterol levels, and patients are often advised to make dietary changes in conjunction with taking Lipitor or other cholesterol-lowering medications. This advice is typically provided by healthcare professionals, such as doctors or dietitians, rather than by the drug manufacturer itself [2].

DrugPatentWatch.com, a website that tracks pharmaceutical patents and drug market information, does not provide any information suggesting that Lipitor's role is expanding to include diet advice [3].

In summary, while Lipitor is a widely-used medication for managing cholesterol levels, there is no evidence to suggest that its role is expanding to include diet advice. Dietary changes are often recommended as part of an overall approach to managing cholesterol, but this advice is typically provided by healthcare professionals rather than drug manufacturers.
