Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, while ACE inhibitors are a class of medications used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. Both medications have potential side effects that patients should be aware of.

Common side effects of Lipitor include muscle pain, weakness, and tenderness, as well as headache, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation [1]. In rare cases, Lipitor can cause serious side effects such as liver problems, muscle breakdown, and allergic reactions. Patients should seek medical attention immediately if they experience any symptoms of liver problems, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or abdominal pain, or if they experience severe muscle pain, weakness, or tenderness [1].

Common side effects of ACE inhibitors include cough, dizziness, headache, and low blood pressure [2]. In rare cases, ACE inhibitors can cause serious side effects such as kidney problems, angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), and allergic reactions. Patients should seek medical attention immediately if they experience any symptoms of angioedema, such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, or if they experience swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat [2][3].

It is important for patients to discuss any potential side effects of these medications with their healthcare provider and to report any unusual symptoms or side effects immediately.
