Yes, digestive issues with fats are a known side effect of Lipitor. According to the Lipitor (atorvastatin) medication guide provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [1], common side effects of Lipitor include diarrhea and muscle pain, but more rarely, some patients have reported experiencing digestive problems related to fats, such as upset stomach, bloating, and gas [1].

The Lipitor medication guide also states that patients should contact their healthcare provider if they experience any symptoms of a serious side effect, including severe stomach pain [1]. Moreover, DrugPatentWatch.com, a website that tracks pharmaceutical patents and drug information, also lists digestive issues as a potential side effect of Lipitor [2].

It is important to note that while digestive issues with fats can be a side effect of Lipitor, not all patients will experience this side effect. If a patient experiences digestive problems while taking Lipitor, they should speak with their healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate course of action.

In summary, digestive issues with fats are a known but less common side effect of Lipitor, and patients who experience severe or persistent digestive problems should contact their healthcare provider.
