Lipitor Problems
================

Many people do not experience any side effects while taking Lipitor® (atorvastatin
calcium). Problems have been reported during clinical studies,
however, in which a small percentage of people experienced side
effects such as muscle pain, diarrhea, headache, and joint pain. Some
of the rare but possible side effects also include hair loss, weight
gain, and ringing of the ears. In clinical studies, these Lipitor
problems occurred in less than 2 percent of people using the
medication. When Lipitor side effects do occur, in most cases, they
are minor and either do not require medical attention or can be
treated easily. However, if you develop any unexplained muscle pain,
tenderness, or weakness (especially if accompanied by a fever or
feeling of illness), it is important to contact your healthcare
provider immediately. These possible Lipitor problems could be a sign
of a more serious condition. (Click Lipitor Side Effects to find out
what other problems may occur with Lipitor use, including a more
complete list of common as well as rare side effects.)
