How long after taking lipitor did dizziness occur?



Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], dizziness is one of the possible side effects of Lipitor. However, the source does not specify how long after taking Lipitor dizziness may occur.

Medical News Today [2] also lists dizziness as a possible side effect of Lipitor. The source states that dizziness is a common side effect of statins, a class of drugs that includes Lipitor. The onset of dizziness may occur within a few hours or days of starting the medication. However, the source does not provide specific information on how long after taking Lipitor dizziness may occur.

A study published in the Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research [3] investigated the incidence and severity of adverse effects associated with statin therapy, including Lipitor. The study found that dizziness was a common side effect, occurring in 8.7% of patients taking statins. However, the source does not provide information on how long after taking Lipitor dizziness may occur.

In conclusion, while dizziness is a possible side effect of Lipitor, none of the provided sources specify how long after taking the medication dizziness may occur. Patients who experience dizziness after taking Lipitor should consult their healthcare provider.
