How long can you be on Lipitor? I have never heard anyone say how long you can be on it without it having adverse effects on the body.

I'm not on Lipitor, I'm on Crestor and have been on it now for 17 years.  I have had no adverse affect with it and in fact have been on a 2nd cholesterol drug, Ezitrol, for about 4 years as well.  I don't think there are adverse affects from these drugs.

Well that doesn't sound like it's not safe to be on it.  After 17 years with no side effects I would say that it is pretty safe.  I guess if I had a choice of medication or a stroke or heart attack I would take the medication as long as the doctor says I need it.
