Simvastatin was a much cheaper alternative to Lipitor and I had very good results with it for two years but I was abruptly taken off Simvastatin in June due to a letter from the FDA stating it should not be taken with another medicine I am taking so I was put back on Lipitor.

I guess I do not understand the pricing though. A friend of mine got a card from her drug program that her Lipitor co-pay would now be $4.00. I called my mail-order drug company and they told me that Lipitor on my Part D plan would still be over $100 per 90 day prescription. When I asked about the $4 quote I was told that different plans required different co-pays.
