What Is Atorvastatin 80mg?
Atorvastatin is the generic version of Lipitor, one of the most commonly prescribed cholesterol medications in the United States.

Doctors also prescribe it to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and certain heart procedures in people with cardiovascular risk factors. Atorvastatin is a prescription medication and is not available over the counter.
