Overview

Lipitor 80mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Atorvastatin 80mg (as atorvastatin calcium) as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Lipitor 80mg Tablet once daily, at any time of day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Try to take it at the same time each day to build a routine, and continue taking it even if you feel well, since cholesterol control is usually silent and long-term.

Dosage

The usual starting dose of Lipitor 80mg Tablet is 10-20mg once daily, adjusted by your doctor based on your cholesterol response and cardiovascular risk, up to a maximum of 80mg daily for higher-risk patients. Your doctor will determine the right dose and monitoring schedule (including periodic liver function and cholesterol tests) for your condition.
