Lipitor is used with diet changes (restriction of
cholesterol and fat intake) to reduce the amount of
cholesterol and certain fatty substances in your blood.
Accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of
your arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis)
decreases blood flow and, therefore, the oxygen supply
to your heart, brain, and other parts of your body.
Lowering your blood level of cholesterol and fats may
help to prevent heart disease, angina (Chest pain),
strokes, and heart attacks
