Is Liptor Classified As A Medication For A Heart Condition?
For insurance purposes, is Liptor classified as a medication for a heart condition. My father is taking it to lower cholesterol. The travel insurance that we are filling out for him asks if he is taking any medications for heart conditions. Do I say yes, or no?

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HcM!
Lipitor is taken for dyslipidemia. As this disorder is a risk factor for coronary artery disease, it should be taken in this heart disorder.
So the answer would be YES, as it can be taken in several heart conditions.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
