Lipitor is also known as atorvastatin calcium tablets. The main ingredient of this product is atorvastatin calcium and is indicated for patients with hypercholesterolemia, primary hypercholesterolemia, including familial hypercholesterolemia or mixed hyperlipidemia. It is indicated for the treatment of elevated total cholesterol, elevated LDL and cholesterol, elevated Apo B and elevated triglycerides if dietary and other non-pharmacological treatments are not satisfactory.
