Lipitor is a brand name for the medication atorvastatin, which is a type of statin drug used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. While it is generally considered safe and effective, there are some potential side effects to be aware of, including liver damage. [1][2]

According to the Mayo Clinic, early signs of liver damage from statins like Lipitor can include fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, dark-colored urine, and yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice). It is important to note, however, that these symptoms are relatively rare and usually only occur in a small percentage of patients taking statins. [3]

It is also worth noting that liver damage from Lipitor is typically only seen in patients who take high doses of the medication for an extended period of time. For most people taking Lipitor at the recommended dose, the risk of liver damage is very low. [2]

If you are taking Lipitor and experience any of the symptoms listed above, it is important to contact your healthcare provider right away. They may recommend blood tests to check your liver function and adjust your medication as needed. [3]
