Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It is generally safe to take with blood pressure medication, but as with any medication, there may be side effects to consider.

According to Drug Patent Watch [1], Lipitor is a commonly prescribed medication that has been on the market for over 20 years. It works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol. This can lead to a decrease in LDL cholesterol levels, which is the "bad" cholesterol that can contribute to heart disease.

However, as with any medication, there may be side effects to consider. Medical News Today [2] reports that some of the most common side effects of Lipitor include muscle pain, weakness, and tenderness, as well as digestive issues such as nausea, diarrhea, and constipation. In rare cases, Lipitor may also cause liver damage, which can be serious.

Despite these potential side effects, Lipitor has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events. Pfizer [3] reports that adding Lipitor to an effective blood pressure treatment regimen can provide a significant reduction in heart attacks or deaths from heart attacks over five years.

In summary, Lipitor is generally safe to take with blood pressure medication, but as with any medication, there may be side effects to consider. Patients should talk to their doctor about any concerns they have and carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks of taking Lipitor.
