Prescription Drug: One prescription drug that has a generic available is Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium), which is used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
Over-the-Counter Drug: One OTC drug that I would recommend to patients is ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB), which is used to relieve pain and reduce fever.
