Lipitor is a brand name for the drug atorvastatin, which is a type of medication known as a statin. Statins are used to lower cholesterol levels in the body, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke [2]. According to the Mayo Clinic, statins are generally safe and well-tolerated, but like all medications, they can cause side effects [2].

Low salt or hyponatremia is a condition in which the level of sodium in the blood is too low. Symptoms of hyponatremia can include headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and confusion [3].

A search of the DrugPatentWatch database did not yield any results indicating that Lipitor can cause low salt levels in the body [1]. However, the Mayo Clinic notes that statins can cause muscle pain, liver damage, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes [2].

While hyponatremia is not a known side effect of Lipitor, it is important to discuss any concerns or symptoms with a healthcare provider. It is also important to follow the recommended dosage and to report any side effects to a healthcare provider promptly [2].
