A member asked:
Was just prescribed lipitor 10 mg, i am afraid to take it because i heard there may be side effects and afraid of an allergic reaction. how likely will this happen and are side effects severe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You won't have an immediate allergic reaction since you've never taken Lipitor before. Lab work to check your liver and muscle enzymes after taking it for a month will ensure no significant adverse effects. Muscle aches can be a side effect. Be on the lookout for this.
