I'm traveling for 10 days and forgot my lipitor. Is it a problem if I just wait until I get home?
What happens if I miss a few doses of lipitor?

As a consumer of Lipitor I think that you need that Lipitor for the trip and everyday before and after, your doctor would not have prescribed it to you for you to skip days. I’ll tell you what just happened to me. I misplaced my Lipitor for 3 days and today I started having chest pains so then I started looking for my Lipitor because I was frightened. I found my Lipitor and took it immediately. About 30-45 minutes later I was feeling back to my peppy self that I am. I hope this helps you.

You should be fine without them but you should make a real effort to watch your cholesterol intake while you are away.
Alternatively you could visit a pharmacy and inquire about getting an "emergency supply".
