Lipitor Fatigue
Fatigue due to lipitor treatment
Lipitor is a drug used to treat high cholesterol levels. It's other name is Atorvastatin.
Atorvastatin is one of a widely used group of drugs called Statins.
Most people who take lipitor have no significant side effects but some experience pain in the joints and muscles. Others develop a painful tongue or a swollen tongue.
Common side effects associated with atorvastatin therapy or lipitor treatment include: sore joints and muscles, mild transient gastrointestinal symptoms, altered liver blood tests, headache, insomnia, dizziness and fatigue. The official literature suggests that only about one person in a hundred develop side effects when taking lipitor but in practice the true figure is likely to be higher than that.
If you think that you have developed a lipitor fatigue reaction then please consult with your doctor. Do not stop taking your medication without seeking advice first.
