Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. While it is generally well-tolerated, like any medication, it can cause side effects in some people. One potential side effect is liver damage [1].

According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of liver damage can include: fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, dark-colored urine, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) [2]. However, it's important to note that liver damage from Lipitor is rare and occurs in less than 1% of people taking the medication [3].

If you experience any of these symptoms while taking Lipitor, it's important to contact your doctor right away. Your doctor may recommend blood tests to monitor your liver function and determine if Lipitor is the cause of your symptoms. In some cases, it may be necessary to stop taking the medication or switch to a different cholesterol-lowering drug [2].

In conclusion, while liver damage is a potential side effect of Lipitor, it is rare and occurs in less than 1% of people taking the medication. Symptoms of liver damage can include fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, dark-colored urine, and yellowing of the skin and eyes. If you experience any of these symptoms while taking Lipitor, it's important to contact your doctor right away [1][2][3].
