Dear Susan,

 

I know you will need to check with your doctor or better yet your pharmacist for certain.  But here is the drug information we have on Lipitor and specifically the Dosage and Storage requirements:

 

Lipitor Oral Storage

Store at room temperature between 68-77 degrees F (20-25 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medicines away from children and pets.

Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company for more details about how to safely discard your product.

 

Hope this helps - all the best, sue
