Dr Clueless thinks Lipex is Atorvastatin. Its actually Simvastatin!

A customer walks into the pharmacy with a few scripts. 

She gives me a list of her medications which she's been taking. Basically she's a tourist from New Zealand. And she saw this doctor for a script. 

On the list she has 
"atorvastatin 10mg" 

But on the scripts she didn't have any atorvastatin 10mg. Instead she had "lipex 10mg". Active ingredient of Lipex is simvastatin. 

Doesn't make sense coz Atorvastatin is better than Simvastatin in terms of efficacy and side effects profile so why would a dr switch a patient stabilised on atorvastatin to simvastatin?
Called the doctor did she mean Lipitor (atorvastatin)? 

Pharmacist: Patient has a list that says atorvastatin 10mg, but you've written lipex 10mg.
Dr: Yeh i just wrote whatever she had on that list. 
Pharmacist. Lipex is simvastatin. If you want atorvastatin then that's Lipitor. Did you mean Lipitor?
Dr: Yeh just whatever's on that list. Just change it to Lipitor then. 
Pharmacist: ok thanks.


Dr tries to brush it off. But all the pharmacists at the pharmacy spent the next 15min laughing about this clueless doctor coz we know she thinks the active ingredient of Lipex is atorvastatin LOL ..... LMAO 

Go back to med school man!!!!
