Yes, dizziness can be a side effect of Lipitor (atorvastatin), a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels. According to the Lipitor medication guide provided by the FDA, common side effects of Lipitor include dizziness, headache, and nausea [1].

Moreover, the drug's official page on Drugs.com also lists dizziness as a potential side effect [2]. It is worth noting that while dizziness is a possible side effect, it is not a common one. The likelihood and severity of side effects can vary from person to person, and it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.

In some cases, dizziness may be a sign of an allergic reaction to Lipitor. If you experience dizziness along with other symptoms such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, seek immediate medical attention [1].

It is also important to note that Lipitor can interact with other medications, which may increase the risk of side effects. Be sure to inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are currently taking [1].

In summary, while dizziness can be a side effect of Lipitor, it is not a common one. If you experience dizziness or any other unusual symptoms while taking Lipitor, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
