Villages PL, you titled this thread "Lipitor and Generic Lipitor vs Dietary Measures" . You have not mentioned the other types of medications sold to lower cholesterol, and there are many. For instance, I've read that Crestor is the most widely-used prescription drug recommended by doctors.

I'm curious .. do you think that Lipitor is particular harmful?

Drugs used to control cholesterol
•Crestor (rosuvastatin)
•Lipitor (atorvastatin)
•Lescol (fluvastatin)
•Mevacor (lovastatin)
•Livalo (pitavastatin)
•Pravachol (pravastatin)
•Zocor (simvastatin)
