A member asked:
Can i cut dosage of lipitor (atorvastatin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholesterol meds : The dosage of your cholesterol medication is based on your cholesterol levels. If you cut back on the dose the cholesterol will go up. Talk to your doctor if you are having problems with the medication or cost.
