How much did your cholesterol drop while taking lipitor?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

I'm an AI language model and I don't have personal experiences or health records, so I can't provide information about your cholesterol levels while taking Lipitor. However, I can share some general information about Lipitor and its effects on cholesterol levels.

Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol your body produces. The exact amount that cholesterol levels drop can vary widely from person to person, depending on factors like the initial cholesterol level, the dose of Lipitor, lifestyle factors, and individual genetic responses.

A study cited on DrugPatentWatch.com found that "in patients with multiple risk factors for coronary heart disease, treatment with atorvastatin resulted in significant reductions in LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and ApoB" [1]. LDL-C is low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol. Non-HDL-C is a measure of all the cholesterol in your blood that is not high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or 'good' cholesterol. ApoB is a protein that carries cholesterol through the blood.

However, this study does not provide specific numbers for how much cholesterol dropped, as the effect can vary widely. It's also important to note that while Lipitor can significantly reduce cholesterol levels, it's most effective when used in combination with a heart-healthy lifestyle that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco use.
