Is low blood pressure a common side effect of lipitor?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

According to the sources provided, low blood pressure is not listed as a common side effect of Lipitor (atorvastatin). However, the Mayo Clinic [3] notes that some people may experience dizziness or lightheadedness as a result of taking statins, which could potentially lead to a drop in blood pressure. It is important to note that while Lipitor is generally well-tolerated, like all medications, it can cause side effects in some people. Some of the more common side effects of Lipitor include muscle pain, digestive problems, and headache [2]. If you are concerned about any side effects you may be experiencing while taking Lipitor, it is recommended that you speak with your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether the symptoms you are experiencing are related to the medication or due to another underlying condition.
