A member asked:

Taking medicines to cholesterol will it anyway affect the liver or other parts? whether atorlip 5 mg affect liver?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rare: 1 in 100, 000 people develop severe liver disease which is easily detected with routine blood samples. A more common side effect is muscle aching which resolves with dose reduction (but you're already on a very tiny dose which is unlikely to cause side effects).
