Based on the information available, there is no definitive evidence suggesting that muscle pain is a side effect of a interaction between Lipitor (atorvastatin) and ginseng.

Lipitor is a statin medication used to treat high cholesterol and reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack [1]. Common side effects of Lipitor include diarrhea, upset stomach, and muscle pain [1].

Ginseng is a plant that is often used in supplements for its potential health benefits [2]. Some studies suggest that ginseng may help boost energy, lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reduce stress, and promote relaxation [2].

There is limited research on the interaction between Lipitor and ginseng. One study found that taking ginseng and a statin medication together did not affect the blood levels of the statin [3]. However, this study did not specifically investigate the potential side effects of this interaction.

It is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplements or medications, as they can interact with each other and affect individual health conditions and medications differently.

In summary, based on the available information, muscle pain is not listed as a known side effect of the interaction between Lipitor and ginseng. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplements or medications.
