Lipitor is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It belongs to a class of drugs called statins. Statins work by blocking the enzyme in the liver that produces cholesterol. While Lipitor is generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects, including muscle pain, liver damage, and digestive problems [2]. According to Medical News Today, the most common side effects of Lipitor include muscle and joint pain, diarrhea, constipation, and nausea. Rare but serious side effects include liver problems, memory loss, and an increased risk of diabetes [2].

Blood pressure medications are a class of drugs used to treat hypertension. There are several types of blood pressure medications, including ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics. Each type of medication has its own set of side effects. According to Healthline, common side effects of blood pressure medications include dizziness, fatigue, headaches, and a dry cough. More serious side effects can include low blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, and kidney problems [3].

In conclusion, Lipitor can cause side effects such as muscle pain, liver damage, and digestive problems, while blood pressure medications can cause side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, headaches, and electrolyte imbalances. It is important to talk to a doctor or pharmacist about any potential side effects of these medications and to report any adverse reactions immediately [2][3].
