Need to know latest negative side effects of lipitor (atorvastatin) recently reported in the news as of december 06!? what are the most recent negative side effects of lipitor (atorvastatin) reported? (after december '06)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing dramatic: Nothing dramatic has been revealed recently. The most common side effect is muscle pain. There's a tiny incidence of new onset diabetes. Liver dysfunction remains extremely rare. The benefit to risk ratio remains strongly in favor of its use for those with arteriosclerosis and mildly in favor for healthy people with risk factors.
