What time of day to take lipitor?

Answer 1

Bottom line, you need to take it forever. If you stop, your cholesterol will rise back to pre-treatment levels....exposing you to risk of MI and Stroke.

You should not stop taking Lipitor without consulting your doctor. However, one of the warnings for Lipitor is that if you experience "unexplained muscle pain or weakness," you should get immediate medical attention, because it may be a symptom of a rare but serious side effect.

Answer 2

The best time to take this, and other "statin" anti-cholesterol meds, is about 6pm in the evening. This has nothing to do with meals. Rather, it's best to get the drug in your system when cholesterol is being made in the body by the liver, which occurs between 6pm and midnight.

Answer 3

The best time of day to take Lipitor (atorvastatin) is typically in the evening, as this is when the body naturally produces more cholesterol. Taking Lipitor in the evening can help maximize its effectiveness in lowering cholesterol levels. However, it is important to follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions regarding the timing of your Lipitor dose, as individual factors and other medications may influence the optimal timing for you.

Answer 4

Lipitor can stay in the body for about a week after one stops taking it. Time depends on the size of the person and dose he or she had been taking.
