Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. One of the potential side effects of Lipitor is stomach upset [3]. The duration of Lipitor-induced stomach upset may vary depending on the individual and the severity of the side effect. In general, the side effect should resolve within a few days to a week [2]. If the stomach upset persists or becomes severe, it is important to consult a healthcare provider [3]. Additionally, it is important to note that not all individuals who take Lipitor will experience stomach upset, and other side effects may occur [1].
