#InspireLSParenting | Lipitor to Treat High Cholesterol in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Lipitor is a medication that is commonly used to treat high cholesterol. It is the brand name for atorvastatin, which belongs to a class of medications called statins. Lipitor shares similarities to other drugs in this class, including lovastatin (Altoprev), rosuvastatin (Crestor), pravastatin (Pravachol), and simvastatin (Zocor). Statin medications reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood by blocking the production of cholesterol in the liver.

They also decrease the amount of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in the blood. High levels of LDL cholesterol contribute to the development of different diseases. By reducing cholesterol production and decreasing LDL cholesterol, statin medication slower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and heart attack.

All statin medications are pregnancy category X, meaning that they should not be used during pregnancydue to reports of birth defects.If you are being treated with a statin medication and are planning to become pregnant, you should talk with your doctor about your pregnancy plans.Although available evidence regarding the safety of statins during pregnancy is somewhat conflicting, there have been numerous reports of birth defects when statins were used during pregnancy. For this reason, statins are considered to be unsafe in pregnancy, and your doctor will most likely discontinue your statin medicationif you are trying to become pregnant or are already pregnant. Discontinuing a statin for the duration of your pregnancy will likely not interfere with long-term prevention of heart disease. Continue Reading
