Why Canadians love Maple
Frequently asked questions
Maple 101
Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.
Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.
As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

About atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Atorvastatin is part of a group of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors or “statins”. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by your liver. Atorvastatin is sold under the brand name Lipitor.
Atorvastatin is used to treat high cholesterol and to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications in people with type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, or other risk factors. It is used to treat adults and children who are at least 10 years old. Atorvastatin works best when combined with eating a proper diet that’s low in fat and cholesterol, and making certain lifestyle changes, such as exercising, losing weight, and quitting smoking.
Atorvastatin is taken orally once a day with or without food, as directed by a doctor. Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking atorvastatin, as grapefruit can increase the level of the drug in your blood.
Common side effects of atorvastatin include:
- Memory problems
- Confusion
- Mild muscle pain
- Diarrhea
- Mild nausea
Do not take this medication if you are pregnant; stop taking atorvastatin immediately if you become pregnant. If you have liver disease, you should not take atorvastatin.
