How much impact: 10mg/day Lipitor - High Cholesterol Message Board

subpar · 09-23-2006, 02:29 PM

OK, admittedly a crazy question, but.... I tested recently for total cholesterol at 254. Have been taking 10mg Lipitor daily. Does anyone have any guesses as to how much impact Lipitor might have in two weeks??? I took it once before: tested @ 286 initially, took the same (10mg) dosage for 6 weeks, and then tested at 190 with a good HDL/LDL ratio. Any educated guesses out there??????

Just a guess, but you are probably below 200 total cholesterol right now.

Thanks.... did blood work for our company's health insurance on Friday, -- anxious to see how I test.

Let me know. The numbers will probably be ready for you Today or Tomorrow.

Lenin, here are my results. I tested at 254 2 weeks prior to my work-related screening. I started on 10mg Lipitor immediately...

Total Cholesterol: 182
HDL: 60
Total/HDL Ratio: 3.03
LDL: 96

Triglycerides: 126

Thanks for your help!
