Lipitor and aspirin are both commonly used medications, but they are used to treat different conditions and have different side effects.

Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol and prevent heart disease [1]. Its most common side effects include muscle and joint pain, constipation, and nausea [1]. More serious side effects can include liver damage and increased blood sugar levels [1].

Aspirin, on the other hand, is a non-prescription medication used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and prevent heart attacks and strokes [2]. Its most common side effects include stomach pain, heartburn, and stomach upset [2]. More serious side effects can include stomach bleeding and allergic reactions [2].

As you can see, the side effects of Lipitor and aspirin are not similar. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication and to carefully follow the dosage instructions provided.
