Question:
What happens when someone stops taking Lipitor?
I really need to know, please and thank you.
Answer:
Liptor is a cholesterol lowering drug. It lowers cholesterol levels in your body. High lipid levels are a risk factor for heart disease. Sometimes medication is necessary to reduce cholesterol levels.
Edit
High cholesterol levels put people at risk from cardiovascular events such as MI and stroke. Keeping cholesterol levels low, reduces this risk. If a stroke patient stops taking statins they are at a greater risk of having a stroke, heart attack etc.
