It turns out that diet and exercise may be better for mom's cholesterol than more Lipitor pills.

My mother is very healthy an active for an 83 year old. She looks 10 or 15 years younger than her 83 years. She takes a pill for high blood pressure and Lipitor for cholesterol. When she went to her regular doctors appointment in January her doctor told her he was going to double her Lipitor dosage because with the new Medicare Drug plan she could afford it. This struck me as odd since my mother is not poor and not really having in difficulty paying for her drugs before. When I mentioned that my mother exercised and ate well and gave examples her doctor informed me that diet and exercise had little effect. My mother did double her Lipitor dose and immediately had complications. I told her to return to the old dosage and she improved.
