If you develop any side effects while using Lipitor® (atorvastatin calcium), alternatives to the medication should be considered. Many other cholesterol medications are available, including other statins, fibrates, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, nicotinic acid, and bile acid sequestrants. Since each type of cholesterol medicine works differently (and everyone responds to these drugs differently), your healthcare provider will evaluate your cholesterol levels, heart disease risk factors, and other medical conditions before recommending a Lipitor alternative.
