A member asked:
If i go off of lipitor (atorvastatin) for 3 months in order to take sporanox, how much could my cholesterol increase in that amount of time?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
As much as it drops: It will go up to pre Lipitor (atorvastatin) levels more or less, unless you have changed your diet and weight substantially.

Back to base line: Stopping Lipitor (atorvastatin) will probably raise cholesterol to base line in 3 month. It might be preferable to decrease dose of Lipitor (atorvastatin) while on sporanox.
