Based on the information available, Lipitor is not a common treatment for joint inflammation. Lipitor, a medication commonly known as atorvastatin, is primarily used to treat high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke [1]. It belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which work by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [1].

Joint inflammation, on the other hand, is often treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), depending on the severity and cause of the inflammation [2].

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options for joint inflammation, as they can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend the most effective course of action based on individual health circumstances [3].
