@FranandZoeCall the drug manufacturer. You may be asked to provide the drug lot number, expiration date, and length of time that the drug was exposed to extreme temperatures.
I wouldn't take Lipitor that was expired unless the drug manufacturer said it was OK to. I take Lipitor/Atorvastatin and would be worried also if it had lost its potency.
Also there are many pharmacies that have a very low cost for atorvastatin. Last month I got mine for free from CVS.
Good luck!

I don't think cold temperatures would affect the medicine's efficacy. Nor do I think it's gone bad only 1+ month past expiration date. I would use both without hesitation.

UPDATE:
After speaking with both my pharmacist and the drug manufacturer I decided to get a new prescription from my dr. Cost of the drug was in excess of $300 which I didn't want to pay. (Should have made hubby pay lol.) However my insurance - Silver Scripts - said they'd do an override which means they'll pay for this new prescription. Thought this was so great of them.
