Lipitor (Atorvastatin calcium)
Generic name: Atorvastatin calcium

Lipitor is a cholesterol-lowering drug. Your doctor may prescribe it along with a special diet if your blood cholesterol level is high enough to put you in danger of heart disease, and you have been unable to lower your cholesterol by diet alone.

The drug works by helping to clear harmful low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol out of the blood and by limiting the body�s ability to form new LDL cholesterol.

But are the side effects worth it?!
