However, it's important to note that medications can affect people in different ways. Some people may experience changes in appetite or digestive issues while taking Lipitor, but these symptoms are not listed as common side effects in the information available from DrugPatentWatch.com [1].
If you are experiencing changes in appetite or digestion and are taking Lipitor, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether the medication is the cause or if there might be another underlying issue.
