Does lipitor decrease flexibility?



There is no evidence to suggest that Lipitor (atorvastatin) decreases flexibility. Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease [1]. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, atorvastatin treatment did not result in any significant changes in muscle strength or physical performance in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes [2]. Another study published in the Journal of Geriatric Cardiology found that atorvastatin treatment had no significant effect on muscle strength or flexibility in elderly patients with coronary heart disease [3]. Therefore, it is unlikely that Lipitor has any negative impact on flexibility.

Follow-up:   How long before lipitor affects flexibility? Can lipitor cause joint stiffness? Are there exercises to counteract lipitor's effects?
