Hi Leftleg,
For questions regarding meds, your physician and/or pharmacist are good resources to answer questions and discuss the options.
All the best,

NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. Since my doctor was the person to put me on Lipitor in the first place, that's why I asked what I asked. All got from you was an invitation to purchase your subscription. Thank you though. Leftleg
