A member asked:
I just started lipitor (atorvastatin). i've been itching all over all day. could this be due to the med?

Possibly: One of the adverse reactions that some people get from Lipitor (atorvastatin) is urticaria, a fancy name for the hives. Typically, urticaria is associated with raised reddened lesions that itch.
