LIPITOR Helps Manage Cholesterol
LIPITOR may start working within 2 weeks. At your next doctor's visit, your blood tests may show lower cholesterol numbers. Use these results to motivate you.
Motivation is key to making lifestyle changes that can help manage cholesterol. This should include exercising and eating healthier. The more you can make heart-healthy habits a natural and comfortable part of your daily routine, the more successful you may be in managing cholesterol.
