Does lipitor's list of side effects include muscle fatigue as a common occurrence?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Short answer: Yes — Lipitor (atorvastatin) labeling does list muscle-related adverse effects as common. Specifically, myalgia (muscle pain), muscle weakness, and muscle cramps are noted.

Fatigue specifically as a separate, common adverse effect is not typically listed in the standard Lipitor labeling. However, fatigue can be reported by some people taking statins and can occur with or alongside muscle symptoms.

If you’re taking Lipitor and develop new or worsening muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine, seek medical advice promptly, as this can indicate a rare but serious condition (rhabdomyolysis). If you’d like, I can summarize the exact current labeling text or help you find the latest patient information for Lipitor.
