Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. It is a type of drug called a statin. Statins are known to cause liver damage in some cases. Therefore, the use of Lipitor with liver disease should be carefully monitored by a doctor.

According to Drug Patent Watch [1], Lipitor is contraindicated in patients with active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevations in serum transaminases. This means that Lipitor should not be used in patients with liver disease or with high levels of liver enzymes without a clear explanation.

Medical News Today [2] reports that statins, including Lipitor, can cause liver damage in some people. However, this is rare, and most people can take Lipitor safely. The article also states that people with liver disease should be monitored closely while taking Lipitor.

The Mayo Clinic [3] explains that statins can cause liver damage, but this is usually mild and temporary. They recommend that people with liver disease should have their liver enzymes checked regularly while taking Lipitor or any other statin medication.

In conclusion, Lipitor should not be used in patients with active liver disease or unexplained elevations in liver enzymes. However, for most people with liver disease, Lipitor can be taken safely, but it should be closely monitored by a doctor. If you have liver disease and are considering taking Lipitor, it is important to discuss this with your doctor to determine if it is safe for you.
