How long did dizziness last on lipitor?



Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], dizziness is a known side effect of Lipitor. However, the duration of dizziness can vary from person to person and can depend on several factors, such as the dose of the medication, the duration of treatment, and the individual's overall health.

A recent study published in the Journal of Lipid Research [2] reported that dizziness was reported in less than 1% of patients taking atorvastatin. The study did not provide information on the duration of dizziness in these patients.

Medical News Today [3] also notes that dizziness is a common side effect of Lipitor, but it does not specify how long the dizziness may last. The article suggests that if dizziness persists or is severe, patients should contact their healthcare provider.

In summary, dizziness is a known side effect of Lipitor, but the duration of dizziness can vary from person to person. Patients experiencing dizziness should contact their healthcare provider if it persists or is severe.
