Generic Equivalent for Lipitor Available at Canada Drugs Online

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) December 30, 2011

A generic equivalent to Lipitor, Pfizer's #1 selling cholesterol-lowering medication, has recently become available. Lipitor, generically named Atorvastatin, is used primarily to treat high-cholesterol. CanadaDrugsOnline.com has stocked many different dosages of Lipitor and its generic equivalent through its online pharmacy, allowing worldwide customers to buy their prescriptions at a much lower price. American customers will pay 60 to 100 dollars less for Atorvastatin from a Canadian pharmacy, due to government regulations.


CanadaDrugsOnline.com, the online division of a Canadian pharmacy, specializes in generic drugs. They proudly offer PharmaScience's version of Atorvastatin. To celebrate the holidays, CanadaDrugsOnline.com is currently offering a $ 5.00 off coupon for generic Atorvastatin. To buy Lipitor at the best price, go to their partner site, OnlinePharmacyCoupons.com and search generic Lipitor. You can save $ 5.00 on your generic Lipitor by calling CanadaDrugsOnline.com's Customer Care agents with the coupon code, ?5lipitor?.


Pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Sanofi Aventis patent medications they create, such as Lipitor and Plavix. When the patents run out however, other companies are allowed to produce a generic version. Generics are chemically and therapeutically identical to brand name versions of medications, but are much less expensive. Generics can be offered at lower prices as they do not require costly marketing plans, and can be manufactured with a lower overhead cost. This allows customers to receive the healthy benefits of their medication with a drastically discounted price.


Generic Lipitor was recently approved in the United States for sale. However, it has been available in Canada for over a year. Generic producers such as Apotex, Ranbaxy, Cipla, and PharmaScience have perfected the manufacturing of generic Atorvastatin, to the benefit of American customers. Toronto-based Apotex received first permission from Pfizer to create their generic version of Lipitor. They created a "100% crystal" version, and named it Apo-Atorvastatin. The generic equivalent was reputed to have saved the Canadian health care system over 7 billion dollars. Now, Canadian pharmacies are making both discounted brand-name Lipitor and Atorvastatin available online for worldwide customers, particularly Americans. Everyone with a prescription can now afford their cholesterol-lowering medication, paying anywhere from 50 to 100 dollars less for Atorvastatin than for brand name Lipitor.


CanadaDrugsOnline.com is a licensed Canadian pharmacy specializing in generic alternatives to pricey brand name medications. They opened their online division in 2004, and have since filled over 600,000 generic prescriptions. CanadaDrugsOnline.com is proudly verified by PharmacyChecker.com and is a Certified Canadian International Pharmacy (CIPA). CanadaDrugsOnline.com was also recently featured on two leading informational websites, http://www.domperidone.us and http://www.breastcancercare.us.
