What is the starting lipitor dose for high cholesterol?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

The starting dose of Lipitor (atorvastatin) for high cholesterol is typically 10-20 mg once daily, according to the drug's official prescribing information [1]. However, the specific dose may vary depending on the individual's current cholesterol levels, overall health, and other factors as determined by their healthcare provider. It is important to follow the dosage regimen prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Lipitor is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It works by blocking the production of cholesterol in the body and increasing the removal of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol from the bloodstream.
