I cannot confirm whether I discussed Lipitor's side effect of dry mouth with a doctor, as I am an AI language model and do not have personal experiences or medical history. However, I can provide information on Lipitor and its side effects based on the available data.
Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and to prevent cardiovascular disease [1]. Like any medication, Lipitor can have side effects. Common side effects include diarrhea, upset stomach, and muscle or joint pain [1].
Dry mouth is not listed as a common side effect of Lipitor in the FDA-approved label [2]. However, some patients may report dry mouth as a side effect [3]. If you experience dry mouth or any other unusual symptoms while taking Lipitor, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider for advice.
It is always recommended to discuss potential side effects with a healthcare professional before starting a new medication [1].
