Based on the information available, there is no universally recommended waiting period to increase a patient's Lipitor (atorvastatin) dose. The dosage adjustment should be determined by the patient's response to treatment and their individual risk factors [1].

According to the prescribing information, Lipitor dosage can be individualized according to the patient's current lipid levels, response to therapy, and tolerability [2]. Typically, the starting dose for adults is 10-20mg once daily, and the dose can be increased after 2-4 weeks, if necessary [2].

It is important to note that the dosage should be individualized based on the patient's clinical response and tolerability, and the benefits of increasing the dose should outweigh the potential risks [2].

In conclusion, the recommended waiting period to increase a patient's Lipitor dose is typically 2-4 weeks, but the exact timing should be determined by the patient's response to treatment and their individual risk factors.
