Generic Lipitor is a cholesterol-lowering drug. Your doctor may prescribe it along with a special diet if your blood cholesterol or triglyceride level is high and you have been unable to lower your readings by diet alone. The drug works by helping to clear harmful low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol out of the blood and by limiting the body's ability to form new LDL cholesterol.
Generic Lopressor is used for treating high blood pressure, long-term treatment of chest pain and reducing the risk of death because of heart problems in patients who have had a heart attack.
