If you notice a change in your liver enzymes while taking Lipitor (atorvastatin), it is essential to consult your healthcare provider immediately. Elevated liver enzymes may indicate potential liver issues [1]. Although Lipitor is generally well-tolerated, it is associated with rare instances of liver enzyme abnormalities [1].

Your healthcare provider may recommend one or more of the following actions:

1. Monitoring: Your healthcare provider may request periodic liver function tests to monitor the condition of your liver [1].

2. Dose adjustment or discontinuation: Depending on the severity of the liver enzyme changes, your healthcare provider may decide to adjust your Lipitor dosage or temporarily discontinue the medication [1].

3. Alternative treatment: If liver enzyme abnormalities persist or worsen, your healthcare provider might consider alternative cholesterol-lowering medications with less potential for liver issues [1].

It is crucial to maintain open communication with your healthcare provider regarding any changes in your health or side effects while taking Lipitor.
