Use of this medication
Before starting, or when first starting atorvastatin,
you should be placed on a cholesterol-lowering diet. If appropriate,
your doctor will discuss a program of weight control and physical
exercise with you.
The recommended adult dose of atorvastatin ranges
from 10 mg to 80 mg daily, preferably in the evening. The medication
usually takes about two to four weeks to have a recognized effect
on the cholesterol level in your blood. After this time, your doctor
will probably send you for lab testing to check for changes in your
cholesterol levels.
Body weight, other medical conditions, and other
medications can affect the dosage of this medication. Do not change
the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your
doctor, even if it is different than what is listed here
