Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. However, one of the potential side effects of taking Lipitor is liver damage [3]. According to a study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the liver damage caused by Lipitor can be reversed if the medication is discontinued [2]. The study suggests that patients who experience liver damage while taking Lipitor should stop taking the medication and undergo regular liver function tests to monitor their liver health. The Mayo Clinic also recommends that patients who experience liver damage while taking Lipitor should stop taking the medication and consult their doctor [3]. It is important to note that liver damage caused by Lipitor is rare, and most people can take the medication without experiencing any significant side effects [1].
