Benefits

Lipitor helps most people with high cholesterol, but it may have unwanted side effects in some people. It can also help to protect you if you have high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, or if you have been diagnosed as having diabetes. Lipitor also helps to protect you if you have a family history of heart disease, or you are simply getting older.

How it works

Lipitor lowers high blood cholesterol levels by blocking a liver enzyme that produces cholesterol. This decreases the amount of cholesterol in the blood, reducing the chances of developing atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries due to build up of cholesterol) and heart disease. This medicine takes effect within 2 weeks.
