Lipitor is a commonly prescribed medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. Increasing the dosage of Lipitor may result in some side effects. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], the most common side effects of Lipitor include muscle pain, weakness, and tenderness. However, the likelihood of these side effects may increase with higher dosages.

Additionally, according to Mayo Clinic [2], some rare side effects of Lipitor include liver damage, memory loss, and confusion. Patients should consult their doctor if they experience any of these symptoms. Furthermore, SingleCare [3] notes that increasing the dosage of Lipitor may also increase the risk of developing diabetes, particularly in patients with pre-existing risk factors.

It is important to note that the benefits of Lipitor in reducing cholesterol levels often outweigh the risks of side effects. Patients should consult their doctor before making any changes to their medication dosage and should report any side effects experienced while taking Lipitor.
