Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body, and it contains atorvastatin as its active ingredient. The drug is widely used to prevent cardiovascular diseases and has been on the market for over 20 years [1].

According to a study published in the Journal of Pharmacy Practice, atorvastatin has not been found to increase the risk of falls in elderly patients [2]. However, the study does mention that the risk of falls may increase when atorvastatin is taken in combination with other medications, such as antihypertensive drugs.

A list of medications with fall risk compiled by the University of Nebraska Medical Center includes Lipitor (atorvastatin) as a medication that may increase the risk of falls in patients [3]. The list is based on the medication's side effects, which may include dizziness and muscle weakness, leading to a higher risk of falls.

In conclusion, while atorvastatin (Lipitor) has not been found to increase the risk of falls on its own, it may contribute to an increased risk when taken in combination with other medications. Patients taking Lipitor should be aware of the potential side effects and consult with their healthcare provider if they experience any symptoms that may increase the risk of falls.
