I don't know what sites you have explored.
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "lipitor molecules" to get these possible sources:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=lipitor+molecules&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Did you use appropriate key words to do your own search? Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
I'm sorry to hear that you couldn't find the information you were looking for on those sites. To answer your question, Lipitor is not a carbohydrate, protein, or amino acid. It is a medication known as a statin, which is used to lower cholesterol levels in the body.
If you would like to find the specific molecules that make up Lipitor, the active ingredient in Lipitor is atorvastatin calcium. Atorvastatin is the molecule responsible for the cholesterol-lowering effects of the medication. It belongs to a class of drugs called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly known as statins.
To find this information in the future, you can search for the specific name of the medication (Lipitor in this case) and look for reliable sources such as the official website of the manufacturer, scholarly articles, or reputable medical websites. These sources usually provide detailed information about the composition and mechanism of action of medications.
