Lipitor
Pfizer cholesterol drug
Lipitor is the brand name for atorvastatin, a widely prescribed medication that lowers cholesterol.
It belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which reduce the liver's production of cholesterol to decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke.
My doctor put me on Lipitor after my cholesterol came back high.
