See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor
Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, does have side effects, as with any medication. However, loss of balance is not explicitly listed as a common or rare side effect in the official Lipitor patient information leaflet provided by the FDA [1]. It's important to note that everyone's reaction to a medication can be different, and some side effects may not be listed or as common.
If you have experienced loss of balance or other unusual symptoms since starting Lipitor, it's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether the medication may be contributing to your symptoms or if there could be another cause.
Remember, self-diagnosis can be dangerous and it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for medical advice.
