See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor

Based on the information available, there is no definitive evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication commonly used to treat high cholesterol, directly affects teeth health. Lipitor is a statin drug that works by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver [1].

Adverse effects associated with Lipitor typically involve muscles, liver, and kidneys [2]. There are no documented oral or dental side effects in the studies and clinical trials of this drug [3].

However, it's important to note that medications can sometimes have indirect effects on oral health. For instance, dry mouth is a common side effect of many medications, and this can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease [4]. But specifically for Lipitor, there is no documented evidence of such effects.

In conclusion, while medications can sometimes have unexpected side effects, there is currently no evidence to suggest that Lipitor commonly affects teeth health. As with any medication, if you have concerns about potential side effects, it's important to discuss these with your healthcare provider.
