Lipitor is a medication that is commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol levels in the body. One concern that some people have when taking Lipitor is whether it can affect liver test results. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, statins like Lipitor do not typically cause significant liver damage or abnormalities in liver test results [2]. However, in rare cases, statins can cause liver damage, so doctors may monitor liver function with regular blood tests [3].

The drug patent watch website provides detailed information about Lipitor, including its mechanism of action, side effects, and clinical trials. However, it does not provide specific information about the effect of Lipitor on liver test results [1].

According to Harvard Health Publishing, liver tests are commonly performed before starting a statin medication like Lipitor and periodically during treatment to monitor for potential liver damage [3]. If a person taking Lipitor experiences symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, or jaundice, they should contact their doctor immediately, as these could be signs of liver damage [3].

In conclusion, while Lipitor does not typically cause significant liver damage or abnormalities in liver test results, doctors may monitor liver function with regular blood tests. If a person taking Lipitor experiences symptoms of liver damage, they should contact their doctor immediately.
