Lipitor is a brand name for the drug atorvastatin, which is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, taking atorvastatin does not appear to have a significant impact on exercise performance or recovery in healthy individuals [3]. However, it is important to note that strenuous exercise can cause muscle damage and increase the risk of muscle-related side effects from atorvastatin, such as muscle pain and weakness [2]. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals who take atorvastatin should consult with their healthcare provider before engaging in strenuous exercise, especially if they have a history of muscle-related side effects or underlying medical conditions [2].
