Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body, and it belongs to a class of drugs called statins. While it is an effective medication, there are potential side effects that users should be aware of. One of the possible side effects of Lipitor is liver damage [3].

According to the Mayo Clinic, liver damage is a rare but serious side effect of statins, including Lipitor. The risk of liver damage increases when Lipitor is taken with certain medications or when it is taken in high doses [3]. However, most people who take Lipitor do not experience liver damage, and routine monitoring of liver function is not necessary for most users [3].

Drugwatch, a consumer advocacy group, notes that some of the symptoms of liver damage include yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, abdominal pain, and fatigue [2]. If any of these symptoms occur, users should contact their healthcare provider immediately.

It is important for users of Lipitor to be aware of the potential side effects and to discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider. While liver damage is a rare side effect of Lipitor, it is important to monitor for any symptoms and to seek medical attention if they occur [2][3].
